From Model Auto Review: Sydney Model Auto Club life member Alan Richardson died 13th April, 2001, while visiting a friend in hospital when he complained of chest pains, and went immediately to Casualty. In spite of CPR administered by the staff, he passed away at the age of 61, due to unsuspected hardening of the arteries. 'Richo' was a colourful character, and ran the Granville Swapmeet on behalf of the Club.
