I remember Peter Arundell and more importantly his dog Perry.

He owned the local garage in Cranham, Essex which he named Grand Prix Garage.

My parents would look after his dog when he was away and I as a nine year old cut my dog walking teeth with the curly lad.

I remember the fact that he used to bring his Lotus home on a trailer and park it in the open behid the garage. Many a time I would be sitting in it expleting brmm, brmm noises.

His wife and baby had a narrow escape from a fire in the shop/show room flat attached to the garage. Her father was the hero, wrapping a wet towel around his head and entering the smoke filled flat to rescue his daughter and grandchild.

I also remember us giving home to a Texan and his wife during the Tokyo Olympics. His racing team had gone bust and they were potless. They spent a long time trying to scrape money together to get themselves home. Who were they? Rsvp

regards to all
