There seems to be some discrepancy over Reed's nationality. 1965 South African Grand Prix indicates he was South African, whereas 1964 Rand Grand Prix suggests he was Rhodesian. Does anyone have a definitive source? DH85868993 (talk) 03:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Both ManipeF1 and StatsF1 identify him as Rhodesian. I couldn't find any sources identifying him as South African. On that basis, I'll change his nationality to Rhodesian. DH85868993 (talk) 10:45, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sorry I'm a bit late to this - yes, as far as I can tell he was/is Rhodesian, and I had him down as such in 1964 Rand Grand Prix but I didn't notice the discrepancy with the '65 race. David Hodges in the fantastic "A-Z of Grand Prix Cars" talks about Reed's self-built car, the Realpha / RE, as being built in Rhodesia, which also suggests Reed was Rhodesian. Bit of a mystery guy though. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:06, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
