Reading your books took me back to our Lotus Cortina; £995 as I think it said in the book, bought I think again in 69, taken to Nice on a high speed run for our holiday.
I remember my parents swapping driving, and mum exclaiming, that's the first time I've driven a car at over 100mph.
Sadly sold in 71 after my father passed away for around £640..
Fond memories though.

Michael,
Good to meet you last night albeit briefly.
Thank you for your time - I promise I won’t tell anybody you arrived in a Tesla…

Please buy !

Cars again...this recently surfaced photo of my Miura visiting friends in Long Melford, Suffolk in the summer of 1974..only 50 years ago
Spot the ex-wife extreme left !
Since those days the car has become one of the most recognisable Miuras around..must be the orange stripes over lime green?
Since I sold it in 1976 for £8,000 it has remained in Australia. Value now about £1.5 million

A bit of an acquired taste, I'd imagine. Thank goodness for B/W photos!

Left the production line in white apparently then Supermodel Twiggy's manager, Justin de Villeneuve, asked for it to be painted Lamborghini Lime Green with orange stripes. Only 10 Miura S in RHD. Justin kept his LHD White

I have attended all the Concours events at the Royal Palaces since 2012

The first year at Windsor Castle this handsome guy was a McLaren Ambassador
I had no idea who he was !

This was one year before Superman hit our screens
And here he was.. Henry CavilL
Friendly and chatty especially with my wife and daughters !
