driftwood has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Regarding Alex Clachers car
i once spoke to a guy in scotland 14 yrs ago( now not with us) who told me he had the clacher shell in his yard !!

John Homewood was the man to beat at Brands in the mid 70`s in the 1 litre class
Ray Calcutt was ex Frazer Imp team member and i think he had 1 of those cars to race in kent messenger series

Rob Mason was a Team Bevan driver but Bill McGovern was the driver that won the British Touring car championship 3 times in Georges car & with no factory support

Derek walker went onto race a 2 litre Skoda special saloon in later years
Dont forget Ray Payne was a south west Imp racer and Hartwell engine builder man !!
and Brian Prebble was another coombe regular that also ventured east to Brands

Brands had many racers that just did the KM series but there where a few guys who chased the national Rivet and esso special saloon series and later Fowrard trust and wendy wools became the sponsors of the national championships
As time went by GT races started at Donington combining modsports and special saloons greated the popular the Motoring News GT championship mainly at Donington but later became anational series
and yes they where all great days
