JCJ is, from all accounts, a lovely chap. Doing very well & still visits many historic festivals. What is he doing now?

Bjorn - I don't know that team you mention in connection with John. He raced with John Fredman from his Stratford Mews garage in Earls Court - where Cosworth was spawned. He later used an old Lotus transporter, from his days when he worked there with Graham Hill, and often toured Europe with David Piper.
Alfred - I'd imagine you have his contact details now, but be prepared to wait for a reply as John is quite forgetful. His old friends at the track such as Pipes and Tim always address him as John "Shamble" Jones as he often forgot something at the race meetings - usually his helmet!
I had experience of this a few years ago when dining at a local pub after another Revival meeting and John's wallet was not in his usual pocket. So after getting the landlord to check everywhere and assuming a pickpocket had it away; it turned up weeks later after one honest person handed it in and the good people of Goodwood posted it back!
He has a great story to tell and I have tried to get an interview I did in print but I've been told it's a bit too obscure. What it really means, I think, is another revision and better editing by my goodself - but lack of time and talent may make that a hard task!
I have some recent digital photos of John - I will find them and post a couple later....

It is not very difficult to find him - one TNF'r is a good friend of his. I'll let him get in contact when he sees this thread or there are a few more on here who knows his address.

Richie Jenkins, not to be confused with me. You say his daughter is a TV actress, I've googled him to establish her name without success. Do you know her name?

B.A.R.C. Yearbook 1960, Page 116, lists two Campbell-Jones, competitors :
Campbell-Jones, J.
Campbell-Jones, R.
Campbell-Jones, R., is listed as a competitor at the 37th Members' Meeting at Goodwood, 11th July 1959.
I also have a Campbell-Jones, P., racing a Singer at Brunton Hill Climb in 1952.
Can anybody connect these people and shed any more light on their activities?

Looking for something else, I realised that John celebrates his 85th birthday today. Congratulations to him, he is a delight to know. As mentioned above, a book of memories from him would be very worthwhile
