Some might not have heard of him and he seemed,in some ways, an unlikely rally driver to look at
But a genuinely nice bloke

Aww. 74 is too young - he was a great wheelman. RIP.

Memories of staying up late at night to see the rallying on telly, and Andrews Heat For Hire sliding into view meant here came Brookes

So many years watching him on the RAC rally, always sideways. The Mantas may have been uncompetitive against the 4wd group B cars but they looked and sounded great.
