Subject: Re: Richard Hammond is one of us!
We should be grateful it wasn't the despicable Clarkson who bought one. Hammond is a motorcycle man as well was Wal Handley ( Rudge 500TT champ 1930 ) who had an M45 and of course do not forget the first Lagonda was a motorcycle.
With most celebrities collector cars and bikes are just the "flavour of the month" I spotted Alan De Cadenet's name in the Brough club roster many years ago but it disappeared quickly. He also purchased a couple of Crockers a few years ago and then quickly tired of them and auctioned them off. Jay Leno has an eclectic collection but you can be sure none are for sale, all are treasured, maintained and used including his replica Lagonda Lemans v12 !
