My newspaper today had an obituary for Alain de Cadanet, the racing driver who died at the beginning of this month.
Apparently his first car was an M-type. Anybody got any idea as to which M this was.??
The little story accompanying this tells that the old chap selling him the car, pointed out a switch down by his right leg. If you move the switch the engine will stop, This was very useful when out with a young lady. You could then cuddle up to keep warm in the roofless M-type.
Sadly there wasn't one my car = I suppose it is a little too late to install one now. |

Sad news. I suppose everyone has seen the YouTube film of him standing in a large field as Ray Hannah approaches VERY low from behind in his Spitfire?
