PVW rallies 1967
Ruth and Kevin were active members of the Witham and District MC. Not only would they compete but they helped organise and marshal events for the club. John White, of J E Motors Ltd, was a good friend and a fellow club member who rally prepared and maintained PVW throughout the Ascott's ownership. He was also a keen competitor in a Vitesse 1600 and then 'Marigold' his orange Mini VMM 751G, which he used in the 60s and 70s and still owns to this day!
