GCCheddaris should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I posted a picture of Chris Sims on Baubles Picture Parade a little while ago driving a Vauxhall Magnum at Thruxton in 1975. A photographer from Newquay (a colour one at that...), he went on to race a Chevette a couple of seasons later.

Regarding Jim Evans, is it my imagination or did he drive a BDA powered Avenger in about 1977/78 before moving on to a spaceframe turbo powered Escort (possibly the subject of this thread). I'm sure I remember an interview with him in Autosport where he mentioned buying a Formula Two March which was the the basis of his Escort turbo. Of course, it could all be my imagination. If only Autosport were to archive their back issues online like Motor Sport...
