Monday 25 October 2004 - Bette Hill, wife of the legendary racing driver Graham Hill, will take her place as a passenger in this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on Sunday 7 November in a 1903 Cadillac Model `A' owned by Lawrence Riches.

Also taking part are Anthony Haas, producer of the programme and BBC DVD `The Peter Sellers Story�as he filmed it' and long time friend of the Pink Panther genius himself and his wife Brigitte, Graham Hill's daughter, who will be following in her Father's wheel tracks as they take their seats in a 1903 Wolseley once driven by her Father in 1972 to raise funds for Oxfam.
