My boss when I was an apprentice was F.R. (Bob) Gerard, he had a Cooper Bristol, could it be the same as in picture no. 1
Yes, we remember him, he was quite a good driver in his day. Hard to tell if any of the four Cooper Bristols entered in the event were Bob’s, but with that number I’d guess that at least one was driven or owned by Gerard. To find out the names of the current owners of all four, you could go to the Monza website and look up entrants.
Peter,
Bob Gerrard was from Leicester, raced an ERA and also a Riley TT Sprite AVC 20, in which I had an interest in the early sixties,I believe it resides in Switzerland now.
