Two separate issues:
Does anyone know exactly, or at least in what year, Dr Stuart Milton who owned a number of racing Triple-Ms, passed away, please? This is believed to have been around 1967 but may be a few years later???
Does anyone have a copy of the Light Car & Cycle Car magazine for 28 April 1933?
Many thanks!
Cat

There is reference to him in the Bonhams sales details of RX 6796, 2M 1647, the Le Mans car. www.classicdriver.com/en/car/mg/m-type/1930/235734 It says he died in 1971 before the completion of the car's restoration undertaken with Lewin Spittle. If he was Stuart Harry Milton, then the Probate Register indicates that he died on 27th September 1971 when resident at 376 Woodstock Road, Oxford.

Hi Cat
I am pretty certain Dr J.Reid will be able to assist, both and Dr S Milton were at Oxford University at the same time.

Cat, Malcolm has correctly provided you with the answer.
After completing his doctoral thesis at Oxford, Stuart continued his research in plastic surgery and skin grafts, based at the Nuffield Department of Surgery, the Radcliffe Infirmary.
I knew him from the mid-60s until his untimely death while abroad at a conference in 1971. He came to our wedding in 1969, and also introduced me to Bob Willies from whom I bought Aramis!
I had many trips up the Woodstock Road to help him with his work on the Samuelson Le Mans M-type. Stuart bought the car having found it in a sad state parked in the road in London, and he also had parts of the Murton-Neale car.
I met Lewin Spittle when he paid several visits to Oxford around 1965, to see the car he had owned in the 1940s. He was keen to buy it back. By 1966 Stuart had acquired from Mike Ellman-Brown what Mike Hawke's K3 Dossier refers to as "The Other K3003", and wanted to focus on its rebuild, so Lewin was able to buy the two Le Mans cars. After Stuart's death the K3 was bought from his estate by Philip Bayne-Powell.
