Later became Competitions Manager for Ford, after eyesight issues led to a single-seater retirement. Later lived in the South of France for a long while and ran a boat business. Died after a long battle with ill-health. Taylor also drove a bobsleigh for the British Olympic team but didn't end up competing at an Olympic Games. Taylor was equally adept in single seaters - particulary in Formula 3 - and rally cars, which arguably was his first love - he made his debut in 1953 and ended his career in 1965 in rallying. Taylor was a good friend of Graham Hill and helped Damon with both his motorcycling and motor racing career.
