(No record of DG on 64 Monte)

Thats great Fal,many thanks,yet again.Donald bought the ex Pat Moss car from the works and always used the DG number.
As there is no record of it for 64,that narrows things down a bit,the old photo sent to me shows the car having the earlier mentioned damage,that must have been in 63,the year Donald sold it immediately after it came back from the Monte.In 63,it was involved in a nasty accident,the co-driver died from sustained head injurys,possibly would have survived had he been wearing his harness! Another owner Graham Gramma I think,has stated that he owned the car in 1968 so I just have the five year gap to sort out.I know the car was kept in London during 66/67 but cannot trace the Dealer,it is thought that he emigrated to Spain. The rest of the cars history has been authenticated.

can someone add?

That wouldn't have been Derek Astle, who was killed on the Tulip Rally? Not sure of year but thought it was 62 but may have been 63. He had a Healey 3000 and was in Knowldale Car Club with Don Grimshaw, according to Stuart Turner's book.
Any idea which part of London the dealer in 66/7? If west London, Chequered Flag or Performance Cars ought to be in the frame?

FAL,unfortunatly I have not been able to find out where in London the car was kept,yet!
It was Derek in 63,thats when the car was sold on [as a wreck] From What I understand,Donald did the Tulip with Derek doing the driving,Donald took over[as co- driver] and put it off,the rest,sadly,is history.

I've now seen a 1960 RAC Rally list with him shown as G.D.Grimshaw. I don't know what the G stood for but he was known by his second name Donald (Don).

Lyon-Charbonnieres 1960 - 1961 - 1962 - 1963 - 1967 - 1968 - 1969 -
