Sterling chap old boy!
On a different note and maybe this should be a new thread, is Peter Dron a member of this forum? I seem to recall he was, author of course of "Morgan 3 Wheeler, Back to the Future", within which I contributed some photos. He had a 5 speeder, I know. I suddenly realised that I stayed in a castle, a couple of years ago, very close to where he lives in France, a splendid area.
