...ok an old BRM to put on display in Milan. Gavin went along with him this time and tells me how they travelled over the Alps in a Volkswagon van with the car on a trailer behind – what an amazing experience for a 10 year old! The car then went on display in the Hall once they returned.
Dad with brother Piers and the BRM

...Before we moved to Hoar Cross Hall my father had bought an old manor house in the village of Shardlow, near Derby, which had previously been a vicarage among other things.
