Just wondering here if anyone has photos of Murray Gordge in his Rover Saloon, plus any of his Modifieds? Its for my speedway book. Barry Brown has kindly supplied me photos of some of Murray's Modifieds, but I'm keen to get more if possible.

I've spotted a couple on the Macgors site, but haven't been able to get hold of the owners to ask permission.

If you can help, please email me at: mailto:?subject=&body=

Thanks in advance.

The politics of Synergy Racing vs a reasonably well known speedway enthusiast is an interesting saga if you haven't come across it.
