I'm a little suprised that no-one has posted any thoughts about the death of CSK recently. I returned from holiday last Sunday & scanning the pages of a classic car publication delivered during the week I find a report that Spen died the previous weekend as a result of a (quote) traffic accident. Does anyone know the details?

According to the Telegraph he died “from injuries sustained when his bicycle collided with a van a fortnight earlier”.

Thank God it wasn't a RRC he came into contact with, that would really be a twist of fate. If he had been driving one of his creations, instead of being on two wheels, he would probably be alive today.
