This photo is the endurance race at Snetterton, the last race of the day, date 27.10.91

The orange car 2nd from the right at the back is John Catt's TVR Tuscan. Reg No PWP 105E
Next to it is Tim Bryan's TVR Tuscan.
The next white car is Colin Bates's TVR Griffith co driven by Kerry Horan. Reg No JNP 617C. This car in the hands of Joe Ward, Chris Conoley and Williams won the Spa6 hrs in 1995.

Also in the race was Ronnie Farmer's yellow Griffith Reg No DRT 643C co driven by Gerry Marshall. This car in the hands of Joe Ward and Chris Conoley won the Spa6 hrs in 1996.

Ronnie's 2nd orange Griffith reg No HYA 3D should have started the race but had a problem just before the start.

Ronnie and Gerry finished 2nd to Tony Thompson's Lotus Elan 26R, Tim Bryan finished 9th, John Catt was 10th and Colin Bates was a DNF.

Few photos from the paddock and race at Snetterton. I apologise for quality my camera was fairly simple. The race finished in the dark I have a few other but they are too dark.

Thanks for posting the pictures Rob. I am actually in one of them.
I was a member of the team running Ronnie Farmer's two Griffiths.

Was that a V6 or V8 Tuscan?

Keith - hope they brought back good memories.

The Blue Tuscan is Martin Cliffe's MAL 013 a V8 see the thread on V8's.

With the better quality picture I can see that John Catt's Tuscan is on the left between two MGBs.

The orange car that I thought was John Catt's is a TVR Vixen run by Tustain/Knapp. Probably Julian Knapp.

I had not seen this picture before. The white Vixen is Kerry Horan's run in the novice championship.
The white Griffith is Colin Bates's car and the orange Vixen the Tustain/Knapp car.

Thanks again Rob, good memories indeed, except for the hassles we had with Tony Thompson.

Not Snetterton but Donington the same year.
