I thought H was 69-70 ?

Hence assuming it would be August 69 and as a trendy footballer he would have had one of the new ones. Could easily be 1970 though.

A friend of mine has one of George's E-types, but then George had many E-types.

Steve McQueen had an elan also, but Ive never seen a picture of him with the car. I was told by a source very close to him he had one for a stint in Japan.

I would love to see a picture.
