1. The January edition of Classic Motor Monthly had an interesting review article on the history of the Gordon-Keeble car, the Owners Club and its activities. 2. Classic and Sports Car magazine had a review article which pitched the Gordon-Keeble against the Aston Martin DBS V8 and the Jenson Interceptor SP. Author, Russ Smith, favoured the Gordon-Keeble.

Caution For those drivers approaching 70 years of age. It has been noted that when applying for a replacement driving licence upon reaching the age of 70 years, the replacement licence only contains the class A for motor cars. If you have other classes on your licence, you are strongly advised to take a proper copy or photocopy of it so that you can prove that you had these other parts to your driving licence. The DVLC are very reluctant to re-instate the other classes without proof. Stating that you had them before is not apparently sufficient proof for them as they may well not have a separate record. |
