Mallock U2 MK17B
Engine: Ford 1600cc
Configuration: front engine, rear-wheel drive
Driver: Andy Smith
Class: Clubman class A (modified engines)
Date taken: October 1977, main straight, Croft
Andy rallied car during the early 70s, moving on to circuit racing with the ex-VRM Lotus Elan in 1976. He dominated the Northern and Scottish Modsports Championship during 1977 and 78, winning both outright during these two years. Andy's Lotus Elan and Kenny Allan's ex- John Blade’s Clan Crusader formed one of the best turned-out teams in any class of motor racing. He started racing a Mallock U2 Mk17B (seen here) late 1977, winning his first clubman championship, 1978, BRSCC Northern, the following year. A new car for ’79, a Mallock U2 Mk18B, brought two more championships, the Northern and Scottish. During the 1980 season, Andy raced Two Mallocks: a Mk20 and a Mk21 with the same success as previous years, winning class ‘A’ in the Northern, outright in the Scottish and Tricentrol Championships. His Tally for that year was 35 wins, 30 fastest lap, 21 pole positions and 4 lap records: Aintree, 107.5mph (173.0kph); Croft, 97.5mph (156.9kph); Ingliston, 79.2mph (127.5kph) and Mallory Park, 109.3mph (175.8kph).

Mallock U2 Mk20
Engine: Ford 1600cc
Configuration: front engine, rear-wheel drive
Driver: Alan Webb
Class: Clubman class A (modified engines)
Date taken: October 1977 at Main straight, Croft
Alan started off as a mechanic to none other then Ray and Richard Mallock, so it was no wonder that his first race, at Croft in 1973, was in a Mallock U2 Mk12. He raced in a variety of borrowed cars over the next few years, before racing in the Ardmore car (seen here at the end of the ‘77) for the ’78 season. He won 9 races that year, taking the Abdex Hose National Championship. The decision to race a Formula Atlantic Mallock U2 for 1979 proved fruitless, and he returned to Clubman in 1980 with a Mallock Mk20, but this time in the Formula Ford engined, class B. Alan held all 4 Clubman lap record at Silverstone over the period 1978-80. Grand Prix Circuit, class A - 117.1mph (188.4kph) and class B - 107.2 (172.6kph); Short Circuit, class A - 105.2mph (169.3kph) and class B - 96.6mph (155. 6kph)
