Brothers track down dad's long-lost racing car
Andy Sharpe, who died in January, raced cars until he was 74 but it was his first car, an Austin A35, that inspired a love of racing in his sons.
Now they’ve tracked that car down and it means the world. They’ve bought it back and next month they will race the car at Mallory Park, Leicestershire, to raise funds for Parkinson's UK.
