Don Barrow's record of the relevant Years of competing on the Motoring News Championships - from 1961 to 1971
The winners results were compiled from their own individual cumulative scores for each Year, therefore some Drivers and Navigators were not necessarily paired up as a Rally crew. However, coloured boxes denote a paired crew.
