Interesting. Did the Capri originally run in the 1978 or 79 seasons in Grp 1 before Gerry ran a Dolly for a year before packing the BTCC in to do prodsaloons?
I don't recall him running in BTCC in 1981 although I do remember Vandervell's name being in a few programmes?
I may have mentioned it earlier in the thread but at some points in 1981 there were nearly a dozen Capris entered for Tricentrol but only half a dozen regular cars in 1982.
It would have been great if Gerry had been pedalling a Grp 1 Capri at that time as well as his prodsaloons!
