As in ‘Prang It and You Own It’…
Here Bob Kent allowed Randall Bromfield to do a few practice laps of Baskerville in 1970 aboard his very tidy 1310cc Morris Cooper S, whereupon Randall ‘lost it at the bottom of the hill’.

Hoi,
Not familiar with either driver. It will be interesting to see what other details pop up from the post.

Mark,

Rob,
Sorry P&O- ‘Prang and Own’ as in prang it and you own it! You buy it if you bend it!
