Most notably recognised for putting on a tremendous show at the Festival of Speed and the Goodwood races in his Iconic "BUY 1" Mk1 Jaguar, you know the photo of the Mk1 in a huge cloud of smoke on the Goodwood start line? yeah? that guy, a legend.
    Grant is also the person who helped Williams Heynes get an engine sorted for the Goodwood Revival, a lovely moment to hear that story from another perspective, and to show just how much community there is around cars.
    This is also the latest episode sponsored by Scalextric, Grants iconic “Buy 1” Jag was made into a Scalextric car! (You can get 10% off using Takona10 at checkout)
