John Parry-Thomas ne devait pas pencher la tête en conduisant, et il est mort parce que sa voiture s’est retournée, pas décapité ;)
« Babs used exposed chains (covered by a fairing) to connect the gearbox to the drive wheels. It has been said that the high engine cover required Parry-Thomas to drive with his head tilted to one side. This story is not true; photographs show that the bonnet was not that high and that the driver can see straight ahead. »
« At the time it was speculated that Thomas may have been decapitated by the drive chain. Later investigation of the recovered wreckage suggested instead that the rear right-hand wheel had failed, overturning Babs. »
