SUN AUTHOR STILL SHINING

While on a short visit to Cape Town with his wife Jenny, another welcome visitor to FMM in February was Ken Stewart, co-author of the bible of SA’s early racing history Sun on the Grid, founding editor of Fine Cars and Classic Car Africa, world renowned Maserati aficionado as well as a leading authority on pre- and early post-war cars and motor sport in South Africa. The octogenarian’s memory has not dimmed, and his knowledge and personal recollections of many of the older cars shown to him by host Wayne Harley was impressive, and he happily signed the museum library’s copy of Sun on the Grid. Ken and his wife Jenny, who typed the manuscript for Sun on the Grid, live in Port Elizabeth where Ken continues to attend EPVCC functions.
