Bowler, Michael

Does anyone know where Michael is now? He'll probably be about 70 or just over.

Not sure he qualifies as a 'driver' in the traditional sense but he certainly did drive a lot of vintage cars and vintage races - and of course wrote a lot about them both in books and magazines.

I seem to remember he lived in north London (Harrow area?), went to Cambridge (where I met him) and at one time (mid 60s?) was technical editor of Motor magazine. I think his father was involved in vintage cars as well.

Presumably this is the same gentleman that until a couple of years ago edited The Automobile magazine. The initials M H L B appeared at the foot of two pieces in this months (February 2010) issue; so he is still around.

Michael is a friend of mine . He lives in a property that once was his fathers ; it is located to the West of London not far from Ruislip . He still edits a motoring publication . His family are grown up ( all boys ) . He is married to a delightful woman called Jane . You can locate him on the web or via the BRDC ( he is a member ) . Regards , Bert Young
