One of my favourtie racing cars. My photos are in storage, so i cant help at the moment but Gerry;'s son is on this forum and might reply.

Also, Marsh plant still exists so you could try asking them?

That's the one! an awesome piece of kit. They both used to race together didn't they?

I remember it at many AMOC meetings that I went to when I was younger. I remember one particular occaision at Donington when there was a thoroughbred GP and Group C race as there was a bit of a run in down towards the chicane with the orange 935. Looked like quite a nasty accident.

I'd love to see it out racing again, how about Britcar?!

I have a video somewhere of this racing at Silverstone in 1990 at the 'Classic' meeting in teh intermarque series. A great car!!

Its on VHS and is in a cupboard here somewhere- I don't have an easy way of converting it to a digital format and uploading it to something like Youtube but if I could find it I'd be happy to post it to you if you send it back once you're done with it.

Couple of photos from the Super GT race a Silverstone last year; apologies for their shocking quality. My dad has some period Intermarque photos from the early 1990s knocking around somewhere. I'll have to get them online. Amazing car and a special driver.

Looks like the engines either been placed in the back or well into the passenger compartment.If its in front then it must only extend beyond the windscreen edge by 18" or so.

This was sold a couple of years ago to Andy Jenkinson and restored to orignal condition and now looks like this:-



(Sorry if some reposts, just making it clear to everyone!!)

Hi, that looks to be liveried in the same colour scheme as the Robin Hamilton/Dave Preece/Mike Salmon car that raced at Le Mans in 1979.

In the early 1980's I lived in Shropshire, not far from Dave Preece and I often used to help out when they were building the DPLM Special, a front-engined, spaceframe V8 car that was very much styled on the original production DBS to 'look like a proper Aston'. The car was designed and built by Ken Heywood (who I've kept in touch with until quite recently) and its debut was at the 1982 1000kms at Brands Hatch although the plan was always to compete at Le Mans.

The car was driven on its debut by Dave Preece and Reg Woodcock although it unfortunately crashed on the opening lap in very heavy rain, I seem to remember getting suitable wets was a real problem. The following year it raced at largely AMOC/JDC club events and Intermarque Challenge rounds before being sold (to Stewart Bond I think).

Not sure where the car is now or whether it has raced again but it would be great if anyone has any pictures they could post.

Reg Woodcock - Blimey - Well know TR Racer.

It was stored at a car musuem in the grounds of Littlecote House near Newbury in the mid 90s, I have a few photos from then somewhere. From memory it was owned by an American and being restored to race again. This was at least 15yrs ago now though

That last picture has one of the huge E type. Is that still racing as well?

I specifically remember the battle between the green jag, the V8 aston and Richard Chamberlains 935.

It'd be good to see them all battling it out again, I imagine since they last raced each car has had a significant amount of development. I know the 935 had quite a successful outing at the Bahrain GT festival a few years ago and put some of the factory teams to shame!
