Legend

Olly Ross is a Scottish motor sport legend. He has been racing cars of one kind or another since 1964. Before that, and upon leaving school, Olly ran a car service garage. The early garage experience fed his enthusiasm for all things automotive and, in 1968, Olly took over the Kenway School of Motoring which he still owns.

His parallel career as a racing driver started when he began competing in timed speed hill climb and sprint events, later moving on to circuit racing. During a remarkable period of over 40 years, Olly has raced in more than 30 different vehicles. He has raced in an astonishing variety of motor sport classes and achieved 200 wins and 18 major racing titles.

Olly sent us a photograph of his two private registrations, OBR 188 which was purchased by Olly’s father 45 years ago, and 9 OR which Olly bought through Regtransfers.co.uk more recently. Olly uses OBR 188 on his driving school vehicle.

The OBR plate matches the initials of his full name, Oliphant Biggar Ross.
