I was delighted and somewhat flattered when Sir Stirling showed interest in the car. He said " Oh I see people can now build their own" he then asked "have you weighed her, what does she weigh" I said "under 700 kgs", he replied "marvelous, absolutely superb, what motor do you run"? I said "it's a Mazda" , he said "wonderful, they rev like the clappers don't they" We had a great chat but they had to move on as Mike Brewer was waiting for him for a live interview on stage. I asked him to sign my car before he left, he did In felt pen !!! What a star. I made a donation to his chosen charity, you could consider doing the same here; www.hopefortomorrow.org.uk/news-and-events/hope-for-tomorrow-charity-patron-sir-stirling-moss-obe-roars-into-tetbury/Fantastic show, extremely busy and so many potential MEV customers who really understood the modern mechanical's with classic looks approach. Everyone was so polite and complimentary, it was refreshing to discover there are so many gentlemen left in the world. I guess it goes with the territory, classic cars, English gents. |
