This is a picture of George Cat at Silverstone in his lime green B95
from early 1960. Notice what the grandstand at Woodcote looked
like in those days. George was, I believe, the general manager at
Mantles garage, and he campaigned this little car very vigorously and
pretty quickly, considering he must have weighed about 15 stone.
Tragically he dies after an accident at Snetterton, where he sustained
superficial injuries but was zapped by a blood clot while under
observation in the local hospital. He was a lovely man and a huge
Berkeley enthusiast.
