In 1970-71 happenstance brought contact with Tom Wheatcroft, the Leicester buildercum-racing car collector then compiling his illustrious Donington Collection. For Tom I at last became literally hands on with some of the world’s mostI had always wanted to get closer to the action, so there I found myself just about as happy as a pig in the proverbial.
