Rhoddy, I took a pic of Barry Wood's car which was then red, but that wheel arch looks just the same. I've just found a rather fuzzy pic here http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2... which purports to be BW in a green car.

Thats really spooky but it looks like my brother in the back ground !!
My dad use to be a mechanic for Pat Longhurst who raced Davrians in Modsports, could be a little early though as i would have only been 7 and probably didn't start going around the tracks until 2/3 years later.
Ron Woods was the guy who had a twin brother was he not ?

Missed that bit about your dad when previously looking at this thread Simon.My dad use to be a mechanic for Pat Longhurst who raced Davrians in Modsports, could be a little early though as i would have only been 7 and probably didn't start going around the tracks until 2/3 years later.

'Little' Pat (lovely pic of him getting silver platter for 'man of the meeting' at Croft in 74 in a certain book on the marque) began racing Davrians in that same year in a Mk 5 called 'Dinky'. But it was in a Mk 7 that he took off and started winning. Now this Mk 7 wasn't apparently built by Davrian but in a Shepherd's Bush garage. That doesn't ring any bells does it ie your dad? Pat died the year before the book appeared.
No doesn't ring any bells, probably just a few years too early. I probably actually know the car but in a different paint scheme as i remember lots of Davrians and Davrian drivers.
Pat certainly was a character !! He was the stereo typical 2nd hand car dealer !! A bit scruffy, all the talk, didn't like spending money, although very generous to some especially if they were getting into racing.
He died very suddenly but he did smoke like a chimney, his diet was also boiled sweets and kit kats so can't have helped !
