Sheila Hancock's 4/4 "twin"

I've snipped this out of the TV Times from 29th Nov 1969.

Each week the magazine's "Gemini Car Club" featured a celebrity and their motor. If you owned the same make and model you could send in a coupon with the chance of appearing in a later edition as that celebrity's motoring twin.

Unfortunately - although I have Bob Monkhouse and his Capri, Mike and Bernie Winters with their Jensen Interceptors and Reggie Bosenquet with a monstrous Mercedes 300C - I don't seem to have the edition with Sheila Hancock and her Morgan 4/4. Does anyone here happen to have it?

Above is the link to the article as you will see is December 11th 2005.
Love the comment about the Rover - don't know where the association of Rover and reliability came about though !

Regards
Richard

Thanks, very interesting about the cars - I hadn't realised she was such a petrol-head.

The article is stuffed with inaccuracies though. For instance, it says she bought the Morgan after the birth of her second daughter in 1974 but as we know she had it in 69. In any case, Joanna was their THIRD child. And her first daughter is Ellie Jane not Melanie. I suspect the interview was conducted over the phone.

Sheila Hancock is the guest on The One Show tomorrow. I'll be watching, although I'd rather it was Top Gear
