Yes, I wonder how many other people made that  mistake. It looks like in her later years they even looked a bit like each other.

That's very sad news. I don't remember her on the show as she was presenting it before I was born. Although she had left a remarkable legacy of motoring journalism behind her. For many people to say that she was a pioneer in motoring journalism in her time. It is quite a feat for someone who is from her generation.

Rest in Peace.
