That is correct TT garage owned by Leslie hawthorn tuned and sold performance cars while son Mike carved out a race career . I think we both know whom would have created the connection of the car to Mike ...an ex owner who for some reason never raced in UK historics !
Indeed. I lived near Farnham for a time and visited all the Hawthorn locations. The tragedy of the period - young men dead before their time.
As you would know Mike only had 2 or 3 years of life left before he was killed . He was offered a drive with Mercedes Benz is reply was along ...Do you think I'd drive for you after what you did in WW2.. Never forgive Never forget?
Had to reverse one of these out of my shed just now,I don't want to have to do it again thanx: Image Unavailable, Please Login
