I've come across a photo of Dr Tom Ashwell racing a 'Manx tail' Griffith 200 at Mosport Canada Sept 1965. Has anyone else got records of pre Kamm tail Griffith racing, most of those I have found are the later Kamm tail cars with the 1800s style body.

The race at Mosport appears to be a support race for the main Canadian Grant Prix for sports and prototypes. Interestingly the programme indicates that the event is sanctioned by FIA.

If there's nothing else I can contribute, I wanted to, at the very least, thank you, for posting that data point. I think it's a great addition, to the knowledge base represented here.

For what it's worth, the rights to the image of the car on track, go to Miles Collier's magnificent collection.
