Four random images from my motorsport images archive. All are available for books, magazines, websites, documentaries. Very reasonable rates! I'd appreciate a re-post if possible. All the best!

South West London circa 1983 and my 1968 MG BGT is outside of the house with our neighbour's 1303S VW Beetle in the background, a car which I later bought and once, drove it all over France for a holiday, happy days!

This was given to me about 15 years ago by an American friend, when I owned my 65 Mustang. Woody has been gone a good few years now, I still miss our Trans Atlantic chats...
