Talking about Droop Snoot Firenzas, and the late great Gerry Marshall , here is a clip of him in a Dealer Team Vauxhall production car promotional race at Thruxton;
And footage of him in the Stars and Stripes Manta Thundersaloon mentioned earlier;
He was a real character who knew how to entertain. Incredibly successful too, winning some 625 races in his career! I highly recommend his Authorised Biography, co-written by his son Gregor.

Gerry Marshalls wife was my teacher in middle school.
She drove a lotus Excel which was pretty damn awesome at the time...
Oh, and I had a Manta (although not when I was 11).
