I cannot remember the last time I heard a Geordie voice like his. I live in the NE of England. M

[daijones]

That is such a great story. And Norman Dewis is so typically modest about his achievements

[delboy]

U do forget they did have to drive to each race. Brian Johnson is just a cracking down to earth humble guy🇬🇧👍

Great show!!  I love learning about these cars and the people around them.

Brian always says those cars are gorgeous, but he doesn't know, that he's just as gorgeous. <3

Phuc....I never heard of Norman Dewis, so I googled him. He died last year in 2019. I won't feel too sad for too long. Dude was 98 when he checked out and I'll bet he was ready.

I wonder when the episode on the Jeep will be available. Grateful.

I had a chance to buy a 63 E type for 900 Canadian dollars back around 1969 or 1970
It had a rod knock but the body was fine , I think it had a single camshaft , in line six
