Stuart co-drove in factory cars for Austin Healey, Auto Union, Alfa Romeo, ect. Won the 1960 RAC Rally with Erik Carlsson in a Saab.

He became Sports Editor of ‘Motoring News’.

Stuart was awarded an Autosport Award in 1990 and the Prince Michael Award of Merit in 2009.

He is the author of over 20 books on business and motorsport, written a Haynes Manual – not on Minis or Escorts but on retirement, although he shows little signs of doing so himself.

Round 3 of the 12 Car Winter Series

,

Hi All,

Round 3 of the Winter Series is just over a week away on Friday 18th January. It is being run on our behalf by Cirencecter Car Club and is also a round of their Winter Series. Please sign on at the Cheltenham Clubhouse from 18:45. The route is approximately 60 miles on Map 163 with a very short section on 162 for which a print of the area will be supplied so no need to bring 162 if you haven’t got one. The finish will be just outside Cirencester with refreshments at the Thames Head Inn afterwards. Please indicate your intention to enter via www.Cheltmc.com on the 12 Car Navigational page. There are currently 6 cars listed so places are limited to another 6. If you are a beginner planning work from a marked Map please arrive in good time to sign on and copy the route as there is a 15 minute run out to the start with first car away at 20:01.

Regards

Dave Gregory
