John Blatchley
| I visited John many times during my trips to the UK. These pictures are from Spring 2006, when I brought Ovid to John's home in Hastings. John was proud to see ‘his’ car in such wonderful shape and ‘looking so immaculate’. He said ‘It truly made me feel proud of my association with it.’ Earlier John said it was ‘his treasure’. |

John was also proud of the carved walnut woodwork with its wing motif. He told me he thought he probably saw something similar at the Paris Motor Show. When John asked the woodworker if he could carve it, he replied, 'Blatch, I could carve you a waistcoat if you asked.' John asked Scott-Paine if he would like the woodwork in his new car. He obviously did. Scott-Paine often talked over the details of the design with John.
