Sue Baker RIP (1955-2022)

[Albert Wendell]

Former Top Gear presenter from 1980-1991 and motoring journalist who was for a number of years the Motoring Editor for 'The Observer'. Although one of many female presenters who appeared on the original run of Top Gear (1977-2001) she is often credited as one of the most recognised early female motoring journalists who paved the way for many other women in what was a very male dominated sector. She was 67.

It's terrible to say, but I don't remember her. I suppose as a non-driver, I didn't watch much Top Gear (well, until the cars became incidental to the comedy!).

But all the same, sorry to hear it. RIP.
