I've always said Snetterton is the home of Formula Ford, not Brands. FF cars first raced at Snetterton, June 11th 1967 ( nine of them ) and the first cars were Norfolk built. Most of the cars were East Anglian too..Lotus, Merlyn, Royale..With the FF Festival starting at Snett in 1972 and the most successful FF manufacturer of all ( Van Diemen ) being Snett based, I rest my case!

At the time a Petrol Station and Garage owner from South Dublin.
Nowadays runs a Guest House on the Sussex coast.
