Chair – Noor Ali
I’m Noor Ali, Chair and Competition Secretary for Classic Marques. I manage the overall running of Classic Marques and liaise with the Clubs that organize the events that we attend to ensure we are a key part of their annual plans. I’ve been competing since 2018 and actually started in Classic Marques in that year, and I fell in love with the ethos of the Club and the friendliness in the paddock. I currently drive a relatively standard Toyota MR2 Mk3. Outside of Classic Marques I am a Director of a Material Science business and qualified as an industrial chemist.
Vice Chair and webmaster – Brian Marshall
Hello! I’m Brian Marshall, and alongside supporting Noor, I manage the website while also chairing the technical subcommittee. I first began competing in 2006, and when the Classic Marques championship launched in 2014, I joined in the Intersports class. For many years, I raced in a Porsche 944 Turbo until 2019, when I decided to switch to driving a Marcos Mantula V8. Beyond the Classic Marques, I previously worked as Head of Environment & Compliance for a waste company. Now that I’m retired, I can usually be found tinkering in my workshop—my favourite retreat!
