He had another S3 Flying Spur in the '70s in which he crashed and did a runner, leaving one of his passengers to deal with the aftermath!

The Gala Cosmetics factory and tower was a local landmark which stood beside the southbound carriageway of the A3 Kingston by-pass 1945-83. If you look at the period Gala job advert above the building and tower with the black diamond shape sign can also be seen in the background of the photo with John Cooper overtaking a double decker bus.....the Gala site is now occupied by modern industrial buildings and offices.

The Death Star is situated at the Farnesina Palace in Rome. Originally the sculpture was part of the Italian Pavilion at 1967 Montreal EXPO and was created by Arnaldo Pomodoro

Yes it is, Long Itchington

Thank you Google Maps.

Yes I've past it a few times this year

[WMU 211G]

Yep that's the one - been driving past it for nearly thirty years and never seen any signs of life whatsoever. It came up for sale a while ago, out of my league though sadly.
