I remember the name, and the fact that he won most things 'up north' in that class. If he had have come down, I suspect he'd have had to be pretty quick to beat either John Holmwood in the south, or Jeff Ward in the midlands. 1-Litre saloons were very good around that time, lots of quick Imps and Minis, plus the odd Anglia. Also anyone remember Derek Walker's Fiat, that was a superb little thing, very quick driver I thought. Also there was a very fast A40 (can't remember the driver)and later on a Moggie Minor Ford. Later still the various Stillettos came, most based on sports car tubs, and of course perhaps quickest of all the Enderby Karmann Ghia.
