John Surtees, four-time 500 GP World Champion and a Formula One World Champion died a day or two ago. Many of you are probably too young to remember his name. It seems he was a true gentleman. MikeV

And I think the Queen knighted him. Sir John.

Huit: Never seen anyone do that with a Vincent; and it still has the rear wheel stand on it!

He is out of the history books, was also Auto pilot seems to me, but his face shone with joy when he was near his racing bike, I did not know, rest in peace. :cry:

When it came to cars, he had rather good taste. This is a replica of his beautiful Ferrari GP ride which was on display at Barber when he was the special guest of honor in 2010. Photo swiped off Bevelheads list.
