Re the late John Miles.
John was totally committed to improving performance of his Austin Sevens and an enthusiastic communicator, particularly of his own ideas, on how to improve handling and ride quality.
I remember him giving us a talk at a 750MC evening a few years ago when he was working with Alan Nobbs ( another local Norfolk man and ex Lotus colleague) on an extended steering arm which he
insisted would transform handling. I subsequently fitted this to both my special and Opal and believe it to be one of the best mods out there.
