Cant believe someone said McLaren did the world a favour by the death of Christopher Dawes!!! Thats not nice is it?
From memory, (and what was written in the press ) he sold his IT business for in excess of £20,000,000 and spent quite a lot on fast cars. He also "apparently" got involved in drug trafficing, one time requiring to flee his plush mansion by helicoptor to evade some heavies who were coming through the front door... I think he was fronting cash for the deals, not actually doing it himself.
I think he crashed McLarens own demonstrator (silver one?) which was on loan to him while his own one was still being constructed. He overtook several cars at once ( some reports were wet roads, some not )and lost it hitting a tree. All 3 occupants died, the car went up in an inferno due to the magnesium, not nice. Allegedly he was driving like a dick, but again only what I read in the papers at the time. Maybe he wasn't a particularly nice chap, but even so.
I remember about a year after being in Caterham Cars showroom in Surrey, and there being a quite awesome Caterham JPE in flourescent yellow, being sold off by his estate. Cant remember too many details but it had been tuned further that standard so he liked his fast cars.
