I wrote the review years ago. It was a press day at Gaydon, before it
opened. Loads of toys to play with. Virtually everything they had that
drove.
Of course I drove the first Land Rover (HUE), the Darien Gap Range Rover,
the Mini, Paddy Hopkirk's Monte Carlo winning Cooper S - which after thirty
years or so wasn't as quick as my own Cooper S - just loads and loads. What
a great, great day. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.
On my way to the MG launch next month...
Best Cheers
Frank
