“… died en route to watch his pride and joy race again …”

Very sad on many levels!

The link above didn't work for me, was it the same as this really nice tribute on the classic team Lotus page?

Very sad, sounds like a really nice bloke. Watched the revival weekend streamed on YouTube, including the Glover trophy, a lovely car doing what it was built for. RIP John.

   Yours was better.
 Thank you for the link, I now have it in my favorites.
  I missed a generation that I grew old with, reading about John and others keeps them alive.
