Thank you very much . Sorry , but I have to ask Again then , was it the BRP/UDT Laystall car in 1962 before getting English registration plates ? Or WHO owned and probably raced it around 1962-64 , please ?
John Coombs owned 3729GT. It was raced by Roy Salvadori, Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, Mike McDowell, Mike Salmon and Jack Sears in his ownership until 1964 when Viscount Eddie Portman bought and raced it as well as Richie Ginther and John Pearce. 250 GTO 3505GT registered 75722 MO was the UDT Laystall car which was raced by Willy Mairesse, Masten Gregory and Innes Ireland before being bought and raced by Gunther Philipp in 1963.
Excuse my rather stupid questions but: - what does Marly - Le - Roi have to do with a GTO? Back in the old days, one of my distributors had a production plant in Marly. - Is the UDT - Laystall the same as Laystall Engineering in the Black Country (Laystall make hydraulic cylinders for Caterpillar amongst others).
BRP , British Racing Partnership (S.Moss's father amongst), was Sponsored buy UDT (United Dominion Trust(Money I think) and Laystall in 1961 & 1962 , hence the UDT Laystall team . miurasv : Many many thanks , I had totally forgotten (how could I) that Coombs had one (this one). ! Superb !
