Sadly Mike passed away yesterday. He was a huge part of the vintage car movement and helped countless enthusiasts over the years. He will be very sadly missed.
That is sad. Mike was a regular at the pub I owned in Newcastle Emlyn in the early 1980's and was a most enjoyable guy to chat with. A true polymath, he would sit doing his crossword occasionally throwing out questions to those around him. Whilst cars were clearly a most important part of his life he needed to be persuaded, by an additional pint of mild, to actually talk about them. I do not envy those who will have to clear his house! He was a knowledge base who will be sadly missed.
Very sad news . I wonder who will take on Arthur , his , was it 4 litre , Austin. We had a pleasant chat one day at Prescott while he was sitting in it .
