Brands Hatch 1965 - Martin Davidson WER 113
Sadly I have just been informed that Martin Davidson died suddenly on 23rd February 2022.
Martin was recently interviewed about his racing days and his many memories of those times by MiniWorld magazine for an article that is due to be published in a future issue along with some great period photos of him in action in his various Minis.

Think this picture is from early 60's possibly from Aintree. Don't have any details.

Yes it’s the Aurora Gear Minis of Trevor and Anita Taylor at Aintree in April 1964. Here’s a shot from Brands British GP and Oulton Park Gold Cup later in the year. Not seen a photo of a Mini on the back of their VW pickup yet.
