Title: Gary Ellis's number plate
Post by: LucyLastic on October 29, 2006, 02:03 PM

Gary Ellis gave me this number plate when the Americans raced at Redditch (in 1981 I think), just thought I'd share it with you.  I think he had to change his number because someone else had the same on the day.  I think the shape of it is unusual and haven't seen any other like it, was this shape the 'fashion' around that era?  He signed it for me too  :)

I couldn't get rid of it, means to much.  I remember the way Gary looked at me when he gave it to me and thought, yeah, I'm in there.   

He never rang, though.  :LolLolLolLol:
