Possibly, if they are going to race it. If they are gong to put it back into static display then why bother?

Brooklands Museum is having a major rework but it is costing less than £10,000000

..don't forget if you try the Napier-Railton Experience at Brooklands, look out for my ex- Rover 10hp Coupe 1938 in the background...and I am part of the crowd !!

So how did that happen then?

I was approached at a rally by Tiff Needell whom I have known for many years ( since my racing days ), he invited me and ' GEV ' my Rover 10hp 1938 Coupe to take part in the filming of the Napier-Railton Experience. I was an ' extra ' and expected to dress the part ( 1930s ) which was not a problem. Filming took a total of three days and involved many retakes....and a lot of standing around waiting to be called. The director called for our Coupe to be placed in front of the black and white bungalow in the background. I am recogniseable by holding a cup of tea as my ' costume ' changes my normal appearance. All in all a great experience and I got paid !

I was invited to the red carpet opening celebrations and walked in with Tiff, lots of celebs from the car racing world attended, great time.

Lucky you
