What's in a name?

This Mk.7 was quite famous around the Sydney area for quite a long time in the ProdSports era with Matt Pintar's name proudly displayed above the windscreen.
Many years later Barry Campbell acquired the car. Both Matt and Barry had Production Sports Cars in their DNA, Matt beginning with an MGB, Barry with a TR3A.
In more recent times Bill Tymms has taken over the Bolly so the legend lives on, from NSW to Qld to Victoria.
Here's the 4 Bolwells that competed at  the Phillip Island Historics this year, a 4, a 6 and 2 7s.

Ian Smith took the photo of Bill beavering away on the 7. Here's a couple more examples  of his work.
Good old Trevor.
And, Gordon Ross, is this your brother?

By the way, Barry did dabble in other things.
But we've all had a Datto fling.
