The old buffers will also tell you that Patsy gave her name to the timing strut when it first appeared. Was known as the Burt strut.
She was a very dedicated hillclimber and appeared at many continental hillclimbs.
Shame I never saw the Patsy Burt Garages McLarens in their heyday.
I last saw her at Shelsley in 2001 I think it was just before she died. A charming lady who was always ready to talk and pass the time of day.
