I certainly know where I was when I took these two "Box Brownie" photos.
One coming and one going away.
But I am not quite sure if it is Dave Simpson in the Cambridge Team BMW and perhaps Gary Sprague in his Escort + the Alan Boyle Mini ?
So if someone can fill in the who and when, I would be most grateful.

Roger Anderson raced a BMW after racing a Mini. I am sure he was one in the Cambridge Racing Team.

Thanks Peter,
that probably would be Roger Anderson and the rest of the puzzle continues such as the others in the pics and when etc..
