Andrew Hedges -
In the final part of the Editor's interview with the amateur racing and rally driver, Hedges describes the last years of his motor racing career prior to a busy business career in the Middle Eastern petro-chemical industry.
Le Mans in 1966 and '67 saw drives for Donald Healey in a streamlined Austin Healey Sprite, in '68 a Healey Climax and finally in 1970 a shared drive with his old MG partner Roger Ennever in a Healey Repco Brabham that broke down on the very last lap of a wet race while in 14th position overall. Other non-MG cars driven include the famous ex-Ogier Aston Martin DB4GT 1VEV, a Ford GT40 with Piers Weld-Forrester at Monthlery in 1969, and a last Targe Florio in a Porsche Carrera shared with Dan Margulies.
