Motor Sport magazine (1960's to 1980's)

[Plinth]

Along with some of the classic/older car enthusiasts on here I have a large pile of Motor Sport magazines from “back in the day”.

Who were the writers and contributors during this period whose initials appeared at the end of an article?

I recognise these chaps -

WB – Bill Boddy
DSJ – Jenks
AH – Alan Henry
JW – Jeremy Walton
MLC – Mike Cotton
CR – Clive Richardson

There are some I don’t know -

MCS, GP, MJT (Mike Taylor?), RR, PHJW, ARM, ELW, FDS, RGS

Can anyone put names to these? (and any others I have missed out!)

Thank you.

GP Geraint Phillips
MJT Mike Twite
PHJW Jim Whyman (I think . . . )

Thanks, Allan.
I would have never guessed GP (forgot about sister publication Motoring News) and had no clue with PHJW!
I should have known Mike Twite, but was thinking of Mike Taylor who did several car books (Sunbeam Tiger, Jensen etc)

Love my old copies too!

I bought and read Motor Sport from the mid-1960s, well before I was old enough to drive, into the 1970s. I enjoyed Jenks Formula 1 reports and post grand prix 'reflections' until his opposition to safety improvements became too much. I couldn't get along with him referring to Jackie Stewart as Jock McArmco.
