Neville Crichton
Interesting article in last weekend’s The Australian Financial Review, about Neville Crichton, car dealer, yachtsman and car racer.
In the article he mentions racing with Brock at Spa in 1987, during the crystal and polirazer era. I can remember his name popping up the 80’s and looking at his Wikipedia page, he seemed to be a reasonable steerer. To get a drive with JPS or Dick Johnson, no doubt have to bring some dollars in, but also reasonable driving ability. I thought he did some driving with Brock in the BMW or Sierra at one stage. |

Croaky could drive and drove with the JPS Team, DJR and the Volvo Dealer Team in Australia.
But probably best not to ask Larry Perkins for a reference. |

According to DJ, Croaky still owes him for the car 18 drive at Bathurst in 1987 . . . Nev crashed with LP on the first lap IIRC.

Nev drove for TWR's Rover squad once or twice in '86 too.
