Who was 'Spotty' Smith?

[Jasper Gilder]

A chum of mine has a Tuscan supposedly campaigned by one 'Spotty' Smith in the 70's in sprints and hillclimbs. Does anyone know much about him or his exploits?

Could it be this man?


Read the copy about GT40.

It is indeed dear.

Previously sponsored by Calvert's Carpets during the 1980s in a SWB Tuscan.

Far be it for me to burst in on a matrimonial. It must be me age - I think I previously knew that Tony Bancroft and Spotty Smith were one and the same. According the the web he then went on to hillclimb a McLaren M10B which must have been a tad attention focussing!

My mate's TVR has a Holman and Moody engine - wonder if it came out of the GT40?

Jasper, now that you've whet our appetites...that must be an incredible car. Could you post pictures, especially of the engine compartment?

Not much to show - engine's on a pallet and the chassis looks a bit flimsy with a repair or two. Car was on the TVRCC stand at the Ally Pally show a couple of years ago - but I don't think anyone realised what it was
