Just wondering Ian, where did you glean this tale from Sir?
It's quite an intriguing story and i'd like to know the source/origin of such a detailed and riveting little yarn.
Cheers in advance.

From 1st hand experience of the car . SVM 286 was not its true number plate, just the one Severn Valley put on for the magazine and I will not give out the original plate, firstly because the original owner would not want me to, and secondly because I can no longer remember it.
Why your interest?
