G'day Bill
Good story Bill and I would say is probably correct.
HRH Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was quite a car enthusiast. I
recall a TV programme some years back, when she welcomed members and
cars of the Ford Pilot Club at home at Clarence House in London. I can't
recall if she was patron or honorary president, but she was most
enthusiastic with the presentation.
The Queen Mother was also patron of the Nuffield Foundation that was set
up by William Morris (Lord Nuffield) in 1943 to undertake research and
practical experiment into the advance of social well being.

I always like to tell people it's an Aston-Harley. Wish I could take
credit for that, but it was coined by Mike Hall of the British Columbia
Healey Club about 30 years ago; for those who might remember him. In
1980, he and Nell Holdstock-Donaldson took his Healey to the U.K.
Bristol Meet and Mike swears that while stopped beside the Queen Mum's
Limo, she shook her finger and said: "Those chrome wheels are not
stock!" (Maybe an early Friday Funny?)
