Hadn’t seen this.

That is sad. Synonymous with the Eatons Yale escort.

An unassuming, quiet spoken man who just got on with the job in a no nonsense way.

His driving style may not have been as flamboyant as some but that’s what made him so quick.

Another bit of my childhood gone.

Sad to read this morning. I’m of an age that means I always identify him behind the wheel of a quattro.

Undoubtedly a classy peddler - will be missed.

I remember him well from Top Gear's annual coverage of the RAC rally in the 80s... One of the three Flying Finn's. Very good he was too.
