Paul Bason started in motorsport when he was in his teens as one of the teachers at his grammar school was into racing. Kenneth Yates had a Cooper Bristol and Bason started helping him at race meetings.
“We went through various cars, and I was so lucky because he bought the prototype Aston Martin DB3S, the car that was raced at Le Mans by Roy Salvadori,” says Bason, who is 75. “I was in that situation where, when I got my licence, we hadn’t got a trailer that was big enough so I drove the DB3S down to Silverstone.”
It wasn’t long before
