Not wanting to start a new thread for this, I looked for an existing one with Jack Sears in the title, so this will do as well as anything.

Most will already know this story, but it's good enough to be worth repeating. Jack Sears, one of the sport's Grand Old Men, hope he'll be with us for a few more years yet.

he does indeed represent a fast fading era of the sport which I remember but I am sure ia gone forever.....
I would In passing like to acknowledge the effort of our "leader" at CLUB LOTUS AVON.. Rob Ford who organised the above visit along with
with many other past and future(see website) for no gain or profit other than the enjoyment and pleasure of fellow enthusiasts and hopefully
any fellow T.N.F.ers..........Phill.

Perhaps I was not clear in my comment. I meant that there was a TNFer there when Sears performed on the M1 with the AC

There was indeed. my (the company's) landlord was Peter Bolton who was in the Le Mans team. I wandered into his office for a cup of coffee and he said "We're testing the Cobras on the M1 tomorrow, do you want to come?". Does a duck swim? I even got a ride with Peter. Oh Happy Days.
