Complete brake failure blamed for fatal Marlin crash during Exeter Trial
An inquest has ruled, following a prolonged investigation, that the death of a veteran hillclimb driver was accidental.

The court heard that Butt was fatally crushed when the car suffered complete brake failure during the 88th Exeter Trial on National Trust land at Fingle Woods, Devon, on 7 January.
