Made for some classic liveries in F1. The JPS Lotus, Marlboro McLaren and Rothmans Williams were iconic looks.

In the late 70s I remember calling at John Street's house to collect tickets for a snooker evening featuring an elderly Fred Davis and a youthful Steve Davis. The event was held at a club near the old Speedway Garage. I'm glad I saw Fred Davis play. 50s/60s snooker star, John Pulman, was an Exeter man.
