I was fortunate to sit in on a AMOC Zoom interview with Peter Sprague yesterday. He was the very colorful co-chairman and turn-around expert who took Aston Martin Lagonda out of receivership in 1975. He also shared his story on this website https://sprague.com/peter-sprague/aston-martin/. It's entertaining reading, and includes the Road & Track covers whose stories are probably why I'm driving one today.

 

Thank you for posting the link to the very interesting article Mr Sprague wrote.

Do you know if the Zoom interview will be available via YouTube or other medium?

 

It was recorded and if made available I'll post it here.

Thanks for posting - what a fun read, took me a few days!
That comment about swapping vin plates for a sheikh after he totaled his car and didn't want to pay duty taxes is pure AM in that era
