His autobiography is available on Amazon for pre-order, 11 quid, I just ordered one.
2nd that: he was very down-to-earth & modest about his design of the Fastback, when you think it was back in '64 it was first developed & with the restrictions of an estate floor-pan he did a great job as those Fastback owners amongst us would it seems agree! Very sad news & not really old these days. I'll mention it at the committee meeting tomorrow. Glen. |

Very sad news. Thank you for posting this information.
Apparently there was a book coming out soon about him, I hope it still emerges. |
