Greetings and sorry to bother you yet again, but I wonder if you would be interested in these photographs – they might be a welcome difference to the many obituaries which seem to be happening as we get older!
You may remember in 1994-5, HMSO via Team HMSO Cavalier and then HMSO Bookshops sponsored Nigel Smith racing driver and his Vauxhall Cavalier GSi in the British Touring Car Championship. The replica car was on display at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu for several years and, from June 2025, is now displayed permanently and splendidly at the Atwell Wilson Motor Museum in Calne Wiltshire. Nigel Smith decided to dedicate the car on its entrance to this museum to Gordon whom he regarded, as you will see, as “Mr HMSO Books”.
All the best, Jennifer
Hello Jennifer, My word, that is a well-decorated car, and as you say, the photos will add a shaft of nostalgic pleasure to the many downbeat items that inevitably come the way of HMSOldies.
Best wishes, Reg
