    The Mini and Sir John Whitmore - more to do with the humble guy than the car.

    Deffo Sir John Whitmore, as he was the Local Lord of the Manor . Many roads and a Pub named after his family in my area.
    Car has to be either Lotus Cortina (Mk1) or the Zakspeed Capris in Wurth colours.

    Tiff used to drive for the Janspeed Nissan team, but I think on that day he was driving a Cavalier, I was standing at the bottom of craners when it happened, it was superb up until that point.
