Centenary of Manx Motorsport -

Andrew Hedges Interview Part II -
1962 sees the amateur racing and rally driver at the Targa Florio in Sicily for the first time. In 1965 he finishes 11th overall paired with Paddy Hopkirk in a Dick Jacobs MG Midget Coupe, and in 1966 he's in a works MGB with John Handley (more usually found behind the wheel of a Mini Cooper circuit-racer). With another team car driven by Timo Makinen/John Rhodes, the MGB drivers finish 1st and 2nd in the 2-litre class.
Hedges was also a regular competitor in the Tour de France (again MGB-mounted) and was as high as 4th place at one point in 1963, beating many regular entries from Ferrari and Porsche. Sadly his race that year ended in a serious accident that kept him from racing for a while.
