You ring a bell in my mind as a young man just starting out in life I used to hang out with a pal at the local garage where we got on well with the owner a rally nut. Most of the classic car owner car nuts used to call in , one chap stands out nicknamed Speedy Grey he had a Britannia with a Raymond Mays conversion ( 3 carbs on an old Zepher engine ) . This went for a yellow E Type that went for a blue E Type both FHC . His daughter lives over the road to a house I own and I was chatting to her a few month ago. Dad is now in a home he has dementia seldom talks the Blue E Type is locked in a garage has not been driven for yonks . But what she said sank in , she pointed out if anyone talked of classic cars he would light up then start talking and could not be shut up and talk all day , there must be a point in that . Kind of makes you think what we have to look forward to .
