The next Anglia had a 1.6 pushrod engine. which was written off at Paddock Bend (B H) whilst dicing with Gerry Amato. His third Anglia was a 1.6 Twin Cam painted white with black spots as was his crash helmet. Apparently his girl friend (later his wife) once turned up in a ultra-mini skirt in matching polka-dot pattern. This was the car that caught fire in the paddock at Lydden, but was repaired. This prompted him to buy some fireproof overalls, previously he had raced in jeans and a tee-shirt. He later became the sales and marketing person for Hawke and drove the works Formula Ford in 1970
