Truly a hero! Like Tim I was born too late to have seen him, but he appears to have been a fantastic driver despite his handicap, and to have been a true character. He was one of the few people to have been truly at home in a Lister Jag and so many of the photos of him show him drifting them perfectly around the corners. An excellent account is in "Archie and the Listers".

PS There are stories of him inverting a car at a race meeting, then when crawling out from underneath. A Marshal arriving at the scene saw his deformed arm first and assumed that the rest of the arm had been lost in the incident and promptly fainted!
