Chris Barrie. Classic cars. And pages 60-62 of the October edition of magazine Practical Classics:
With many thanks to Jonsmad for the scans. It’s a rare insight into a slightly more personal side of Chris Barrie - who knew he used to be head boy? I bet he was a fucking scary one too.
Chris is actually writing a column for the magazine starting from the next issue - so if anyone from the legal department of Practical Classics is reading this, view this at an extended advert…

Also, you linkied to me. **giggleblush** Dawwww, thanks.
His first column (oo-er):

The chap who bought it off me had it renovated and painted the same livery as Chris’s. Ah memories eh…
