Another sad loss of one of our "Greats"

One happy memory of Stuart was a German Rally at Kurt Schupp's Schloss Vincent, when Stuart turned up on Vinnielonglegs, coming from Greece. He had come via (then) Yugoslavia, and had bought about 6 or 8 Petrol powered camping stoves in that country and was flogging them off at very competetive prices. They were identical to a well known Swedish version but a small fraction of the price!. I still have mine and it works perfectly. I think I also have the instruction book......... written in Russian.!
Stuart was also a vituoso of playing the saw, yes an ordinary saw of the type for cutting logs. Brilliant, days long gone.
RIP Stuart

PS For those who may not know, Stuart's twin headlamp fairing, is in fact two upturned Mini wings! How about that for ingenuity

I understand that he created it so that he could have a left-dipping headlamp for UK, and a right-dipping headlamp for Continental use, selected by a switch.
