A gent as you say. His era is my first memory of being interested in =
cars and motor racing. The husband of a friend of my mother was really =
into it with memorabilia all round their house and I was desperately =
hoping he would take me to a GP one day. I was gutted when they =
divorced! I was at Silverstone many years ago and Sir Stirling was in =
the middle of a crowd signing autographs. Couldn't get near him but I =
managed to perch on a short concrete pillar and get a clear view of his =
head and shoulders, when he looked up and smiled at me for a moment long =
enough to get a picture. I like to think he was giving me the =
opportunity to take the picture, but maybe he was wondering if I would =
topple off.
He was at Gaydon for the first public showing of the MGF and the 75th =
anniversary of Old Number One, and after sitting in the MGF he clambered =
into the claustrophobic cockpit of EX181 and recounted how, the first =
time he got in, he hoped that he would never have to get out in a hurry.
