Spike Milligan: A Comedy Legend and a Life Well-Lived From his early days in showbiz to his iconic collaborations, Spike Milligan was a force to be reckoned with. In 1951, he joined forces with Peter Sellers in Alan Cullimore's Let's Go Crazy, setting the stage for their legendary partnership. But it wasn't just on screen where Spike made waves. Behind the scenes, he had a passion for racing that knew no bounds. The CJ5 7271 HWM Jaguar Sports Racing car became synonymous with his name as he fearlessly conquered every track he set foot on. Even off the racetrack, Spike couldn't resist the thrill of speed - captured perfectly as he rode his motorcycle during a visit to Beaulieu in 1968. But it wasn't all about fame and fortune for this comedic genius. Prince Charles himself dined with Spike and The Goons at The Dorchester in London, showcasing the immense respect they commanded within entertainment circles. And when it came time for love, Spike found happiness in Pat Ridgeway as they tied the knot at Crag Wood - an event filled with laughter and joy. Family always held a special place in Spike's heart too. He cherished moments spent with wife Patricia and their beloved daughter Jane - capturing precious memories that would last a lifetime. And let's not forget about his beloved Connaught B-type cars. Whether it was CJ11 5255 or CM33 5076 or any other number from his impressive collection, these vehicles were more than just machines; they represented freedom and adventure that mirrored Spike's own spirit. Spike Milligan will forever be remembered as an icon who brought laughter into our lives while living life to its fullest extent. His legacy lives on through timeless performances and unforgettable moments etched into our hearts.
