What automotive, motorsports or collector car activities would you like to do in the future?

1. McLaren M8C/D 1970. First used by Toyota as a development project, then driven in 1972 Can-Am series by Gordon Dewar. 2. Shadow DN9A 1978. Driven mainly by Clay Regazzoni and occasionally by Hans Stuck. Both will soon be for sale - see below.


What Car Clubs, Racetracks or Motorsport Sanctioning Bodies, (e.g. F1, NASCAR, Indycar, IMSA, WRC) interest you?

Raced in historic F1, mostly with Grand Prix Masters. Raced historic sports racing cars, such as my M8 and previously Chevrons, usually in Supersports or Interseries Revival. Unfortunately stopped racing for now following a major accident last year - as a result, my wife has suspended my race licence!

"Allen,

You asked some time ago if I am the John Grant who used to race a Chevron B19 in Orwell Supersports - sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Yes indeed, this was me! I acquired the B19 in 2000 from Stephen Gibson, raced it for 5 years and…"

  • Hi John

    Thanks for that. I was aware of Stephen's car so can now combine the two and have one less mystery to solve.

    Kind regards
    Allen
  • Hi John

    Are you the John Grant that ran a Chevron B19 in Supersports a few years ago? We're researching B19s on 10 Tenths at the moment and I'd be keen to know the history of yours.

    Kind regards
    Allen

    I'd like to call you later today.
    We're trying to unite the world's Vintage car owners and Vintage Racing and you could be very helpful!
    BTW - my dream was also to race a F1 car and I'm having a Shadow DN8 restored, also driven by Clay.
    All the best - Stephen
