Try Oliver Clubine at Britain West Motorsport (519)756-1610.
He was in the same race driving a Torus...a Triumph powered Special he built
here in Ontario.
He knows or knew most of the Special builders of the time.

And, I think someone who lurks around here on the list...One of the Taylors
(Murray?) in Kitchener or London Ontario has been researching a BMC powered
Whitton he has found.

Good Luck
