The Dennis Leech car belonged to Martin Thomas, who also ran a Gp.1 car.
Regarding the issue of Tom "showing the MSA what they were missng" - you mean bent engines? (Volvo rockers with BL logos, over-sized engines, etc...)
Back to Martin Thomas, he still has a Rover hidden away in his barns (at the last count), and being of short armed stock with long pockets, I doubt it'll come out again.
His cars ran in "Letchworth Roofing" colours, and occaisionally got in front of works TWR entries, much to the disgust of Mr Tom.
Here's a factoid... the Gp1 Vitesses occaisionally ran with 4BBL holley's, where they proved better than injection due to the different power curves.
I will make enquiries on the Thomas Rover(s) and report back.
Rob.
