Gerry Marshall's mount for the 1974 season was Big Bertha, the big and beautiful V8 powered Vauxhall Ventora. Main opposition to Gerry in this race was Mick Hill in his Tricentrol Capri and the first picture shows the pair of them going side by side through the first corner. Unfortunately Big Bertha soon developed a problem forcing Gerry to retire and leaving Mick Hill to win. The second picture shows Gerry apparently searching for the problem (gear linkage ?).
