RIP Stuart Bullas

I have just been told about the trajic and untimely passing of my friend and fellow healey driver Stuart Bullas. I am not sure if this has been mentioned on here before or not but i thought i would pay my respects to him anyway.

Stuart was killed changing the diff on one of his cars, possibly the sprite.

For those of you that new him i am sure you will agree that this is a terrible loss, for those of you who didn't i am sure you can appreciate the impact such an event has on our small motorsport community.

I feel i should also mention that I was also a close friend of Richard Williams and was set to compete against him in his identical (to my own) firehawk.

Really shocking tragic news.
Stuart would always be driving the wheels off the little yellow Sprite whenever I watched on the hill. Always very entertaining to see and how i will remember him.
A stark reminder why we all must be careful when working on our own cars.
My sympathies to his family and friends.
A great shame, RIP Stuart.

Is this the car that was featured on Top Gear?
