Morris Bishop reunited with MoBi-One

A while ago I received a message from a reader who'd spotted MoBi-One at Prescott Hill, and wondered if stunt driver, multiple record holder, motorsport champion and the car's owner Alastair Moffatt (do have a look at his website here) had any particular plans with the car. 

He replied: "Morris came over last year with his wife for tea and let me borrow his book on MoBi. I’m thinking of getting it going and documenting it with a friend to maybe doing a small book on the car and it’s story." I love the idea of that. I also happened to be close to Morris Bishop's place in Spain a week later and wondered if we could arrange a little meet and greet. Unfortunately Morris (now almost 92 years young) happened to be away: "Just to let you know that we are in England at the moment - It would have been lovely to see you!", he wrote.

Better next time. Alastair did send over a few pictures of Morris being reunited with his old car though, which was fantastic. Thank you chaps!
