Quote from Anthony Smallhorn during some recent correspondence:
Possibly the greatest compliment ever paid to the Aprilia was Stirling Moss, to me (Anthony S), on Tower Bridge: "My dad, and I, thought it the best car we ever owned"!
We were No 8, he was No7, and he came up especially to say it.
The other great compliment was Ron Gammon, keeper of MGs, to Stirling: "You haven't tried to overtake that thing going down hill, have you?" There was no comment.
This was during the time YRV 700 was being used on the Pirelli Classic Marathon in the late 80's early 90's
