Interesting to read all these comments.
The good news is I am about to make a video detailing the Alvis Grey Lady Racer - the background and inspiration for it and some antics with Gerry Marshall.

Also with regard to Long Drive, my daughter, Jane still actually owns the house ....my parents bought it in 1930, with the help of my Mum's pawned jewellery.

Anyway thanks for the nice feedback on Shed Racing - get watching soon. Ivan

Ahh brilliant, that's good news! I recall reading the article in Octane magazine not long after the car ran at Goodwood and found the amount of work that had gone in to it somewhat eye-opening! I look forward to hearing it all from the 'horse's mouth' so to speak, best wishes

Welcome to PH Ivan.

I discovered Shed Racing a few months back and love it - great content and has turbo (super?) charged my interest in prewar cars again. Keep up the good work!

I'm surprised the VSCC let him back in! See previous video about being banned for the Bugatti being a "replica", he was just to quick.

Pleased to have been pointed to Ivan's 'tube, thanks PH

Mrs Noise: What are you watching?
Me: Video about a crankshaft
Mrs Noise: Rolls eyes.
Me: It's only 40 minutes.
Mrs Noise: Good grief!

Utterly absorbing it was too. The knowledge depth is Marianas Trench level. An engineering geek's treasure.

From the horse's mouth.

At Beaulieu last year Ivan explained to my pal John, (I was there as well),

How he was testing out his 1926 Morgan three wheeler on the motorway, slipstreaming a coach at 70

I wonder if I'll be climbing up roofs when I'm 84!

Ivan's stuff is car + stories.
Interview is life story + cars. Engaging.
