RIP Dennis Marwood

I see where Dennis passed on Dec 11. RiP Dennis.

RiP Indeed. Met him many times over the years and probably a driver who deserved more recognition than he got.

RIP Dennis Marwood, Indeed he had a long time in Motorsports starting in the 1950's.

His early exploits were in the Waikato with an MG TD. his car on the left.

John Windelburn sent me this in what he believes is Dennis Marwood first event in the MG TD.
The Waikato Motor Racing Club event a North Island Championship Hill Climb ... held on the 17th March 1956.
John was there in his Morris Minor which he had prior to the Austin A35 and many others cars since.
