Nigel Dawes Interviewed -
by The Editor
Nigel Dawes, the Artist, Collector and at one time Dealer of Important Competition Sports Racing Cars tells how, in the 1960s, he first realised that famous racing cars like D-Type Jaguars and Ferrari 250 GTOs cost little more as 'old cars' than modern machinery like a new Mini. As a result he built up a collection of (and later started trading in) some of the world's most desirable GTs. Cars owned included the famous aston Martin Project Car P215, a Ferrari 250 GTO, and the ex-Cunningham 1963 Le Mans 24 Hours Lightweight E-Type Jaguar '515 WK'. Today the cars have gone, and Dawes' interest is in maintaining Birtsmorton Court and building up a collection of 1/8th scale model cars.
