As far as I recall, Ecurie Ecosse owner David Murray went a tad
spectacularly bust in the late 1960s and then went to I think a part of the
Carribean where he reposed in the sort of splenbdour which was reserved for
British people who had grown fed up with the Inland Revenue's increasingly
vicious ways (hey, don't think that mass production killed the British
coachbuilding industry, hell, no, it was the taxman).
I wasn't aware he lived in Canada, although I will ask a few "EE" friends
next time I see them to get the precise story.
Regards,
Patrick
