Gerry Marshall

[Andrew Kitson]

Garry Woodcock and the Formula Saloon Car Club commissioned me to paint a montage of some of the cars their club president Gerry Marshall has driven. His most famous cars such as Big & Baby Bertha and the 'Old Nail' Firenza had to be included. The difficult part was deciding what cars should be left out of the picture as he has driven so many - no room for all of them. His first Mini he raced in 1964 is shown and the latest being the Aston DB4 that he raced at Snetterton to record his 600th win. Trying to work out the colours of some of the earlier cars, stickers, crash helmet etc from old black and white pics was quite a challenge. I could not ask the man who would know as it would spoil his suprise!
It is 35 x 25ins and was presented to a delighted Gerry at Silverstone yesterday. Prints will be made later. Thanks Garry. Photo by David Wick.
