Gerry Marshall: Boy racer to maximum Mini-man
The Mini racing chapter (12 pages) below is extracted from Gerry Marshall's later 2010 published Biography, which includes additional content from Gerry’s son Gregor Marshall’s records and includes some more photos from Gerry’s early Mini racing days that may also be of interest. The rest of the book is also a great read.
"Although most remembered for his later Vauxhall DTV racing days, his son Gregor Marshall’s records for his father’s 1963 to August 1965 Mini forays shows 40 race entries in all Mini types from 850 to 1275 S. They also reveal 16 class wins (mostly in sprints), including two outright race victories."

Re: Gerry Marshall: Boy racer to maximum Mini-man
Gerry Marshall was at Silverstone testing for Geoffery Marsh at the time with his Aston V8 ground effect car .. i got an invite to the session.. Gerry spent some time selling to me the idea of his Ford Model A .. he even got his Model A parts books out of his road car to show how easy parts were available.. then asking me what car i had .. answer 1071 .. his response "Better than Money in the Bank "..then stopped selling to me the idea of a Ford Model A .

David Wansborough put Robbie Gordon’s CUT 7 in the lake at Oulton but managed to race it later in the day, stabled alongside 110 NNM and the Gerry Marshall 970 at Newtune.
