GROPA ressarch - looking for Martyn Denley

As part of my ongoing GROPA research, I am looking for Martyn Denley who raced one of these cars in 1971 and 1972.

Would anyone know by any chance his whereabouts or have his current contact details ?

Any other info, race results, photographs of any other cars most welcome as well !

Thank you.

Allen Gibson was from Colmworth just off the A1 near St Neots, and sponsored by Chawston Engineering , which according to Google is Hemel Hempstead these days .

Sadly TOny Charnell died of cancer about ten years ago

George Whitehead was connected to or part of WRA Engineering , featured regularly in Cars and CAR cONVERSIONS MAGAZINE , Richard Hudson Evans then the editor might be worth a try .

Paul Watson would be Paul Watson of The Paul Watson Racing Organization , I think he maybe involved with The Macau Grand Prix .

Fred Boothby races an MG J2 with the VSCC these days.

Frank Aston is no longer with us. I spoke to his son Peter last year about his cars but he couldn't remember much about the Gropa.
