Experience / Racing History Raced Mini 7 in 1973-80. Bought my current car in 1981 and first raced it in 1983. Led the B-Sport championship at the halfway stage in 1990 but eventually finished 4th. Had a long break between 1991 and 1998 with a new daughter, two years in the US and fours years studying for a degree. Returned to Classic Clubman's in 1998

Car Mallock Mk. 18BW
Year 1977
Number 68
Livery Orange
Engine Tuner D.I.F. (All my own work!)
Vehicle History Not sure of the original owner. Colin Fisher bought it in 1979 and then replaced it with a Mk.23 (fool!) in 1981. I bought all of the bits he didn't want for his Mk.23 and finally got sufficient money together to race it for the first time in 1983
Crew / Assistance In 2001 - Mick and James Rowe. (Father and son). Best mechanics I've ever had.! Sue does the race reports (I'm not sure if that is a positive or a negative!)
Sponsors None (Other than my wife!)
Other Interests Skiing (when I can afford the money). Golf (when I can afford the time) Running (To keep me fit for everything else I can't afford)
Ambitions To have enough money to do it properly. Although if I had enough money, I'd probably have a crack at A-Sport
