I remember watching him drive his mini in the the RAC rally during the night in Dolby Forest. Those were the days Iain. Up all night watching the rally then straight to work without any sleep. Somehow I don’t think I could manage that now.

I still have a pair of circa 1982 Paddy Hopkirk Axle Stands in my garage. Very tatty now but can't bring myself to throw them out.
Thanks Paddy, R.I.P
