Thanks for that Big Andy, I couldn't make out what car it was.Lost programs when I moved sorry.
I think it was Bill Cox's Capri, but I don't know engine size.
Can't see any white Escorts on photos.

Definately not Barry Barnes Dan, I knew him quite well ,In my time he raced an escort i think , i know he had another stint at saloons a lot later 90s ? but definately not him in photo. Is he still with us, i heard he wasnt well some years ago?

Little tale about the original ex Mick Hill 'Boss Capri' for you that might amuse...I helped prepare the car when Tony Strawson owned and raced it, and one day we were at Silverstone practicing for the weekends Super Saloon race. On the entry list was a stranger with a 7 litre Boss Mustang, which tickled ole Strawb'...because it was just some chap assuming he would blow everyone away with his 427 cubic inches of Shiny Street Machine! HAHAHAHA....needless to say he packed up and drove home straight after practice never to be seen again!

Yes, it's Bill Cox. I always thought that car slowly developed using scrap yard bits. I think it started off with a 6 litre Chrysler engine.

Thankyou for posting your pictures,it is just quite possible the blue car that says george bevan on it could possibly be my car,as it has the early frame to keep panels all rigid in the rear,it is definately a maguire chassis or very close copy,the other davrian i do not know who,could it be david hall ?

Also anymore pictures would be great

The number 79 is no way david hall as he only run in a light blue with st davids cross on the roof plus the rear arch bump is to big for his car ,nice car

Strawsons Capri was Mick Hills original car fitted with a 4.7 Gurney Westlake GT40 motor when he bought it via Gerry Marshalls firm Marshall Wingfield.

Hey thanks for that. Do you know if it has survived? Is it the same car as raced by Martin Birrane?

John Schneider seems to to ring a bell re the other Imp,as stated before I moved and lost programmes.

Now I've retired, I have the time to scan my racing photos from the past 40-odd years. My Special Saloon car photos will follow.
First one is from Brands Hatch on 27 September 1970, and the first racing photo I ever took (with my mom's Brownie Reflex camera!) - I promise they improve over the years that follow.
