16 October 1934, Danbury,
Essex
) is a former motor
racing driver. He drove in a single
Formula One World Championship Grand Prix,

Prior to
Formula One, he was one of the leaders of the British Formula Junior scene, but an accident at
Rouen-Les-Essarts
in 1958, in which he broke his collarbone,

1959 British Grand Prix at

Junior Lola and many
small-engined sports cars, winning his class in the 1960 and 1962
1000km Nürburgring. He
retired in 1962.
