When I was little I used to love motor-racing [strange but true] and my hero was a typically left field driver called Jo Siffert who was never famous. Anyway I was looking through my fathers stamp albums with Rowan when I found a Swiss stamp on a letter from Siffert garages in Frieberg. It was hand written and a very polite reply to my schoolboy request for a photo. Nowadays each driver has, I am sure, a whole PR operation to deal with such things - then it was just the guy's brother answering letters in free time at the garage.
The photo is of Ted and Dave heading for one of the many fords in Northumberland.
