1953 Alpine rally plate - not MYT
The early team.
Denys Wolstenholme (1920 to 23/12/2007) was the mechanic for Alex McMillan, the two having been somehow involved in Rochdale Motor Bodies early in that companies life, Denys looked after all ? of McMillans cars from the ex Gilbert Tyrer BMW 328 Mille Miglia or even before (BMW328) through when he owned the ex Gillie Tyrer Jaguar D-Type XKD 517 (registered TKF 9) right up until MacMillan retired from driving due to an errant flywheel.
More on the D-Type, the Murkett brothers bought the car for eventual Ford supremo Henry Taylor to drive, then the Border Reivers bought it for Jim Clark to drive.......

Denys
 drove his own cars in sprints & hillclimbs certainly in later years, even in 2005 - an Austin 7 special, possibly 750 mc races in earlier times.
He was a successful
powerboat racer aswell.

& One of the original Team, Ernest Juer, the co driver from the Alpine Rally in 1953, Gerry & Ernest may have been the first to race / rally the car, we have included him  as a  'Honarary Member' of the Team  
We recently met Ernest after the Goodwood Revival Sunday (19/09/10).
A charming man, now in his late 80's, he flew Hurricanes then arrived at Westhampnett airfield (Goodwood after the war) & flew Spitfires in late 1940. 
He 1st met Gerry Burgess when Gerry rescued him after Ernest had a disagreement with a Spitfire landing at Heston, an airfield near where Gerry eventually had his factory after the war (Hanworth trading estate).
Ernest then flew Mosquito's for the last 4 years of the war even collecting a few from Canada.
