Hi
We had Olly's funeral earlier this month, a 2 day hangover proved it was a good day! Anyway his wife, Lesley, put together a picture board and one section was to do with his racing. I have put together a few shots that I thought may be of interest. Feel free to comment on/or correct my captions!
Me and Olly (in car) Brands Hatch 1991ish? He did a 1 off FVee race, finished second. Scarab.
Rare shot of Olly smiling at a race meeting! Scarab.
Second place. Not bad having not been on a track for nearly 15 years!
Scrambling with long-time and mechanic Mick House. Late 60's?
Highly technical FVee in those days! Earlier 70's. Austro?
FVee Austro early 70's.
Formula SuperVee. Mid 70's Royale?
Seat fitting in March 79V with his mate Martin Thompson. This was his favourite car. Might be interested in buying it if someone knows its whereabouts? 1979.
With his mates John Wade and Mick House at Oulton Park by the look of it. Early 70's.
March 79V
If I had to picture one look that encapsulated my Dad this is it! Concentrated and determined. Royale 70's, looks like Snett?
With John and Mick. Smiling again, bloody hell!
Royale SuperVee again.
March 79V with the updated sidepods. Cadwell Park? and unknown fans!
Lining up for that one off FVee race, 1992ish.
March 79V at Brands, he used to keep the car there when you could hire the garages like a lock-up. Dave Manton (middle) was the mechanic in those days. I am on the right.
March 79V.
Olly with Mike Catlow, I think?
March 79V.
There seems to be a common theme whereby the car is constantly in various states of disrepair!
March 79V, Sachs Curve Hockenheim?
To the winner the spoils! Stop showing off Mum.
Heres that common theme again!
And again!
And again!
The glamour of motor racing!
Bruce Venn and his Argo.
Wakey ,wakey hands off Snakey!
More work!
And again!
Nice shot of 79V March.
