Peter Riley and Jack Sears reunited with their two famous UJB 143 cars.

Gaydon - 2009

The last time these two cars were together was under very different circumstances 45 years ago. They were both competing in what is now considered as being probably the most famous rally of all time. 1964 was the year that 33 EJB driven by Paddy Hopkirk won an outright victory on the Monte Carlo Rally. 569 FMO was one of three team cars that won the manufacturer’s team prize driven by Rauno Aaltonen. It is good to have both cars together again after such a long time. The two cars are virtually identical.

I feel pivileged to be able to say that I knew Pat as a good friend. She loved her horses but will best be remembered for her amazing driving skills and successes. She was a hero to me in life and will always remain so in my thoughts - Paul Roberts.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pat Moss-Carlsson, when as a rally mad schoolboy I went with my Dad to a checkpoint at Ye Olde Bell at Barnby Moor [Nottinghamshire], I think it was the RAC Rally.

Anyway, Pat Moss was there she was driving a sick car on that event and whilst it was being 'serviced' I managed to chat to her........she was great, she had time for me, talked about her past events,, and was very kind and caring, and encouraged me very very much, even waving to me as she set off towards the next control.

I regret never writing to her life, and saying how thankful I was that day, for the time she took out to talk to a rally mad youngster........................me.

Occassionally now I compete in lesser events, and realise how stressed one can get even at the 'hobby' end of the sport.

She will be remembered by me fondly, and a secret wish that I wish I could have known her ....just that bit more.

Treasured memory, thank you Pat,

Richard A Ward. Doncaster UK

Pat has been a long time hero of mine; I thought she was one of the best rally drivers of her era. Although missed, she certainly remains in our memories.
