days of undying memory, and when he left the Royal Air Force, in which
he served as a navigator on Lancasters, he soon built up a reputation as a
first-class driver at the wheel of his own H.R.G. He captained the first
British team ever to win the main team prizes in the Alpine Rally and
later won the Coupe des Alpes, the prized trophy which is awarded only
for an unpenalised run. He then drove Lt. Col.

Mr. Gott's wide experience and intense interest in motoring have been
placed generously at our readers' disposal for almost five years now: he
is always glad to receive letters from them, which will be forwarded from
our
Chichester office.
