I am devastated by this news. I, along with many others, worked closely with him on his last book " Immortal Austin Seven " and helped in its proof reading.
He was a charming man," the " expert on Military Sevens and classic Lotus race cars. At the 2017 NEC Classic Motor Show he proudly showed me his Lotus Eleven insisting I get behind the wheel to demonstrate its cramped driving position and poor visibility!
He had so much more to offer the Seven world in his research, now lost for ever.
His passing is a massive loss both to myself and the rest of the Austin Seven Clubs' Association Archive Group.
Thank you David for what you did. It was a pleasure to have known you.
