Having only once met the man at the RAC Club at Pall Mall when he tore up to the elderly commissioner, threw his keys at him and demanded he find someone to park his car for him.
He might have been having an off day and be the greatest British driver never to win a World Championship but he did not strike me as being a gentleman.
Graham Hill on the other hand was a gentleman, a bon vivant, a raconteur, a party animal, a thoroughly decent chap and a bloody good driver Cool? Probably.
In any event with personalities aside we were talking about satorial elegance and I think I was trying to say that what looks cool on someone may not look cool on someone else. Especially Blazers. Striped ones. Henley Regatta or Terry Thomas yes. Anywhere / anyone else not really.
That silver n blue 750 Monza (with the square wheel arches) looks rather neat, but it doesn't really suit it - I suppose I'm too inured with seeing primary red Ferraris.
