212 Frankie Wainman Senior

Frankie has been a prolific builder of successful stock cars over his extensive career in BriSCA F1. A skill clearly passed on to son 515 Frankie Wainman Junior!

Understandably, Frankie Snr's cars have been popular with other drivers, none more so than in the 1980s. Looking through my model collection I have identified three cars from that decade which were based on constructions by Frankie Snr at his Silsden Farm workshops and driven by 28 Bill Gill, 489 Frank Hudson and 452 'Jester' Joe Jopling.

Pictures of these models are shown below and I hope they bring back some good memories.

I am planning a tribute page to Frankie Wainman Senior later this year in what has been announced as his final season in BriSCA F1 before retiring.
