Sponsorship curiosities

Hullo Lee;
There was a family tie up with the Dailty Planet car and Griffith I was told.
It was a nephew or cousin I believe.
The entrant was very specific in making sure the pronounciation was "Trimbole" not "Trimbolee".
Not much difference I know.
Regarding the Laser, I am sure one raced in the Carla Zampatti colours in the Laser series.
It was certainly driven by a lady.
It was not Chris Gibson (Cole) ,Suzy Ransome or Alexandra Surplice.
Robin Hamilton raced more than Geminis.
She raced a Formula Ford sponsored by "Charlie" which was a cosmetic.
Am almost certain it was Robin but I am only working on memory.
Many moons ago now.
Cheers.
Roger.

The Laser series was before the release of the [first] Zampatti Laser in about 85. Robyn raced FF in about 1979-80,, after she raced Gemenis.

I wonder how many Morris Marinas Maurice Mohrino sponsored ?

For some reason I always liked the Leyland S##T logo like the one on the door.

That is one that TOPGEAR have not trashed.

Somehow, I've always found Tyrrell's 'Candy' (manufacturer of washing machines) sponsorship slightly odd.

During one of the Silverstone GPs there was a demonstration of Candy Domestic Appliances. It consisted of a trailer load of washing machines being towed slowly around the circuit. Certainly made my day.

Similar thing happened at Brands Hatch 1980 with a flat bed Ford 3 tonner laden with washing machines 2 or 3 deep strapped to the back, it seemed to get up to Druids alright not sure what happened after that

Not sure when this linked photo was taken of Jerry Walsh and Village Purple Onion Discoteque GO GO GO GO sponsored Austin Healey but looks like a fun time was had by all.
