Hi
Their was a few pics of him in the Autosport reports. But would love some good quality pics.
Got a few nice ones in his earlier cars (e type and 3.8 mk11) but just one of the mini on a hillclimb.

I see from your user name you must race in the best single seater racing in the world. It's gas how many of us FF men are into mini's as well! Do you race at the Walter Hayes Trophy in Silverstone or the Formula Ford Festival in Brands?

Hi,
Have not raced for 8 or 9 years. never did Walter Hayes all ways run out of money by the end of the season.
But your not wrong it is the best racing, but not cheap.
