Ooh, can I add a couple of British rally results that I'm after too?

1968 November - LAP RAC Rally
1973 May - The Gearbox Rally
1974 September - Castrol Manx Trophy Rally
1975 ? - Manx Trophy Rally
1976 May - Red Dragon Rally

I take it you've checked on Forix 8W - in their History Portal there is a "Minor Championships" page which covers rallying. I don't think that they have full entry lists, but you might fill in a few gaps.
For the later BRC events, it's worth looking at rallybase.nl, although again, they're probably not complete.

There is, or used to be, a Stage Rally Results Archive for all of the British championships that definititely went back to the 90s. It had complete entry lists for rallies and championships. I can't remember where it is though - will update later.

...I've just checked and it only goes back to 1995!

Do you want the results of those rallies or just what happened to Gerry.

From the Motoring News report of the 1973 Gearbox Rally

Other interesting entries were.... Gerry Marshall/Rod Spokes at No 31 in the DTV Firenza complete with the service barge and Chris Coburn in close attendance.

... Shortly after this, on the classic Pilsbury yellow at 1263 Gerry Marshall comprehensively modified the DTV Firenza after failing to negoiate a 90 right, the roll putting both he and Stokes in hospital for a short visit.

[Milan Fistonic]

John Taylor and Bob Rutherford, in their Clark and Taylor Avenger, won Woolbridge MC's Dragon Rally on May 22, defeating the Dolomite Sprint of Roger Chapple/Mike Gray by five minutes. Third overall was Gerry Marshall in Vauxhall's development Chevette, with Dunlop's John Horton in the hot seat.

At number nine Gerry Marshall was making a rare appearance on a night rally with the Chevette that Will Sparrow has been developing. Behind, the ebullient Win Percy was teamed with Mark Birkill in an Opel Manta.

Taylor lost 10 minutes, Chapple 15 and Marshall 27.

Hi Jorge - That's the one and that's brilliant, thank you!! I have two tiny little proof photos of the Chevette and two trophies, one for 1st in Class and one for 2nd Expert - not sure what the Expert one is for though and I never even knew Dad had competed in this event until I was organising his paperwork and trophies after he had passed away, so all information around the event is great.

I'd like as much information as possible really as my records on the smaller events isn't great and it's nice to know more than just Dad's result as I get a bit of tunnel-vision otherwise!!

I know that in the Gearbox Rally accident Dad broke some ribs and it was his first ever over-night hospital stay from a raicing accident, even meaning that he had to miss the Ford Consul GT race at Brands Hatch on the Sunday!! Needless to say he was back out the following weekend in Old Nail and the VRM Lotus Elan at Thruxton.

You could try dropping the site owner a line and see if he has any older results lists you could see. He seems very knowledgeable. His email is on the page.

Thank You very much, LotusElise !

David James site is fantastic and I knew it already but it begins only in 1995 !
I've done my 'home work' (I do it every time) and just disturb people when I do not have more options !

Thanks anyway !
