It does appear that "Gatsonides" is correct. See
http://www.vintageweb.net/millemiglia/gatsonides.html (Ken Richardson up,
Maurice navigating, in a TR in the 1954 Mille Miglia)
But his name occasionally appears as "Gastonides ". See the Alpine Rally
page at:
http://www.smithmaps.fsnet.co.uk/alpinerallytext.htm
Give it time to load for some spectacular maps and photos of the old Alpine
. . . and a reference to "Maurice Gastonides" as one of only two winners of
the Coupe D'Or (Gold Cup) for three consecutive penalty free Alpines (the
other, of course, was Stirling).
