One of the "gentleman" racers. Nothing like the overpaid, over hyped, prima donnas we have now!

Champion on 2 wheels and 4 wheels and a owner/manufacturer. Not another man like him.

Re: R.I.P John Surtees
Hi all, I met John Surtees about 20 years ago at a street fair at Welford on Avon where we were working with our old time Penny Arcade. John came up with his son who loved playing on the machines. They used to come & see us for many years until the street fair was cancelled, a great man to talk too Pete.
