Quotes

One of the highlights of my research is getting to know some of automotive history’s great characters. Below are some comments that made an impression on me.

“The Almighty surely did set us an example of speed and I was one of his first disciples, against such an opposition as you young’uns can hardly imagine.”

Phil Paddon, Rolls-Royce Dealer whose company sold 47-RY in the 1950s

“It never embarrassed him, you see, he was perfectly adjusted to the way he’d been made.”

John Bolster, talking about Archie Scott-Brown’s disabilities. Scott-Brown drove BHL 1 during its inaugural racing season in 1956.
