Does anyone have any photos of the old metallic blue aston martin V8 that gerry marshall used to race in the intermarque challenge in the 90s. I seem to remember it was up against richard chamberlains 935 and a monster of a V12 E type.

I was searching through some old club racing photos the other day but couldn't find the one's of this particular car.

Cheers!

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?!

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!

I remember that red one, I've got some photos of it somewhere, I think from an AMOC day at silverstone. That must have been about 1998 - I was there as my uncle was doing a parade with a load of other astons as it was some special anniversary.

There was a white one as well I believe.
