Isle of Man Car Rally - 1972

(1/3) > >>

Bri Roberts:
DVT - Do you remember a few years ago I informed you I once took a photograph on the Isle of Man of OCC 3M?

You replied and said it was probably you and the late Colin Mack in the car.

Well me and Mrs R have been doing some spring cleaning this afternoon and I can across this interesting photo.

DVT:
Yes, it's me.  Actually it's 1974 (M reg is 1973/4) and it is Colin Mack in the Red Garages Avenger.

I did do the Manx in 1972 with John Braid in a Mini but we crashed out during one of the night sections.

Returned again in 1975 with Colin Mack and we finished second in class, 13th overall - what I consider to be one of my best results as it was an International event with over 100 crews and it was on pacenotes which I'd written myself!  Colin had a lot to do with the result as well, of course!

Thanks for posting the pic - taken at the start outside the Villa Marina!

Bri Roberts:
Thank you, DVT.

I did promise you I would find it one day.

hollins:
A great story and a great find.
The power of the forum and what a small world!

DVT:
It is amazing what turns up via the internet!

Thanks to Brian for posting that pic.

... a miscellany of old rally pics are on www.anwcc.org/oldpics.htm - many of them with local connections.
