Thoughts to his family and friends.
Just finished reading his book while I was stuck in Iraq for 6 months. Absolutly fasinating,learnt so much about the marque. It was rubbish being separated from my Lotus for that long, really cheered me up. I was gutted when I saw on pistonheads he had passed away, as he was a link to the Lotus of old that has made it what it is today.
