Se planteaba en voz alta todas las preguntas que eventualmente tendría que responder. Esa noche durante horas, se interrogó incansablemente. Respondió con exactitud, como si tuviera un público delante. A veces respondía al cabo de varios minutos de reflexión, a veces enseguida, a veces haciendo ver que encolerizaba. Comprendí que cuando se presenta en algún lugar a tratar de un negocio, al igual que un actor, repite su texto y ensaya su papel, tratando de adivinar por adelantado el de los que estaran presentes. The Gordon-Keeble came about when John Gordon, formerly of the struggling Peerless company, and Jim Keeble got together in 1959 to make the Gordon GT car by fitting a Buick 215 c.i. (3.5 litre) V8 engine (the engine which would later be developed and used by Rover), into a chassis by Peerless. The car, still at the development stage, was then tried with a 4.6 litre Chevrolet (283 c.i.) V8 fitted into a square-tube steel spaceframe chassis, with independent front suspension and all-round disc brakes. The complete chassis was then taken to Turin, Italy, where a body made of aluminium panels designed by Giugiaro was built by Bertone. The car's four five-inch headlights were in the rare, slightly angled "Chinese eye" arrangement also used by a few other European marques, generally for high-speed cars such as Lagonda Rapide, Lancia Flaminia and Triumphs, as well as Rolls-Royce. The interior had an old luxury jet feel, with white on black gauges, toggle switches, and quilted aircraft PVC
