Simon EVERETT Castrol/autosport Championship 70's

[mountune]

Hello,

First,sorry for my approximate English but i'm living in Belgium and it's not easy for me to speak and write your language. I hope you'll understand my request !!
At the beginning of the eighties, an English rally driver, totally unknown in our country, took part at Belgian rally Championship. In 1980 and 1981, he drove a group 1 Escort RS 2000. The follow season, he drove cars as Vauxall Chevette, Nissan 240 RS and Lancia 037. His name is Simon EVERETT. Before coming in Belgium, he first came in what was the Castrol/Autosport national championship. I think he was part of a two car team with John CLEARY in group 1 RS 2000 sponsored by TW Robinson Démolition.
I'm looking for anyone who can tell me about Simon in England.
Perhaps have you got papers, photos or information about this man ??

I'd be very happy to hear from you soon.

Eddy

Well well, fancy stumbling on this forum with so many names from the past coming up. Dave West, Henry Inurrieta, Steve and "Fred" Boyd, John Labella. etc., This is Nigel from Roscoe Engineering in Liverpool, and yes we built and looked after Simon Everett's Gp1 RS2000 Alan Sherwood who was then at Burtons built the bombproof and mega tractable engine and we had a busy but very rewarding time in Belgium. Our V6 Transit would tow the car to the boat at Felixtowe in 4 hours`!!! Later we must give credit to Manfred (Freddy) Schroder's bodyshop in Trois Ponts, not far from Spa Circuit He painted the Tuborg Chevette immaculately but the worst rally with it was in Bulgaria in '82 Thats a very long story.

Hi Nigel. I remember the '82 Bulgaria saga - it was how I got roped in to service on the first (brief!) appearance of a Subaru on a British International rally. What are you up to these days?
