In my childhood, I had two impressive experiences with cars. They were guests in the only small country inn of our small village, business people who had work in the area. One of the cars was a TR6. ........
I remember walking to school when a bright yellow TR6 flashed past, and pulled up at the school to pick up one of the 6th form girls. I can always recall that car, but never the girl.
That same year I went on a school trip to Switzerland. A group of us school boys were walking through Interlaken when we heard the sound of a racing car approaching. It too was bright yellow, low and sporty. When it had stopped we took a look at it. Above the rear wheels were a number of badges; F1 Constructors Champion 1963; F1 Constructors Champion 1965; F1 Constructors Champion 1968. It was of course a Lotus Europa.
