That's Gary Brunt in his Fiat Twincam powered Imp.
That photo is from about 1986 but he still owns the car today

Nice to see that , even in 1985 the old Anglia's were still being driven hard.
This one was at Cossey's Farm in 85

This genuine 1300 sport competed in a lot of local events in the 80's and always looked immaculate
Note in the background another legendary local rally machine of the 80's - the well travelled Subaru Brat / Brumby Ute. This ute and the team Sumo Datsun 1200 Ute were very popular with the public
