    This car was on the JDC run to Geneva in 2001 along with John Burton's early car (#14). It was fresh out of a total Martin Robey restoration but hit a deer whilst on the tour. Carried on but required a new MR bonnet on its return. Car originally belonged to Michael Andrews, Mayor of Southampton, who was tragically killed in a vintage Catalina seaplane which ditched in the Solent in July 1998. A friend of his, Stephen Burgess, then purchased the car which was in a very poor state and gave it to Martin Robey to restore.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
