It was great to receive an email from Michael Boeck in Austria with photographs of him following AC Bluebird in his Frazer Nash during the Ennstal Classic in July.
I encountered Michael at the Goodwood Revival, where I had AC Bluebird on display. Michael remonstrated with me that he spent all of the Ennstal Classic following my car, even though his Frazer Nash has the same engine and gearbox as my AC, he could never overtake AC Bluebird. He sent these two photographs to prove his point and to show there were no bad feelings.
Michael is a wonderful character and he has a big car collection. However, if he ever does the Ennstal Classic again it won’t be in his Frazer Nash!
