Mike Crabtree
I have just been watching a video of Mike Crabtree winning at Crystal Palace in 1971 in his Willment Escort. He was very quick in that car but there is very little about him on the internet. Does anyone have more info on him please?
Regards, Lloyd |

Aha! But did he actually win? Or, because of a jumped start, was the win awarded to Gerry Marshall in the Viva GT?...

VIVA GT is of course right - I have the trophy at home!!
Mike was a very fast driver though and his Escorts always well turned out. |

I always looked out for news etc of Mike Crabtree. No photos though. Was that Antique Automobiles?
