As late as the1960s Kay was still driving a 3-litre Lagonda saloon, which had been the family car since 1934; the car was seen at the last Wentworth Woodhouse Rally looking just as it did fifty years ago.
My apologies, my mistake. This from Motor Sport of October 1994.
'By this time Lord Austin had given Kay Petre a place in his works Austin racing team, appointing her to drive the blown side-valve car while the men raced the Jamieson twin-cam Austins which Stirling Moss once described, after sampling one, as a miniature Grand Prix kind of car.'
