Gerry Marshall. An all-time great when racing was devoid of personal trainers and big money.

Me, nostalgic? You betcha!  :) :)

An absolute legend. A real character and a very great driver.He couldnt do single seaters as he was just too big,but no-one could catch him in a saloon car. Baby Bertha was a real beast of a car, and gorgeous with it.
I enjoyed watching that. :y 8)

'Why is it that Vauxhalls are so quick?' asks the commentator chappy.

'Its got the biggest driver!' is the reply.

A true character, and a professional right to the end.

I'm proud of my Baby Bertha poster I have in the den...
