Julian Stephens Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I was saddened to learn that my great friend Chris had passed away today. Greater detail will appear in a future edition of TRaction, but in the meantime here are a few memories of the man himself with that shiny red TR2, LMW140. Leaving the start line at a Register Goodwood Sprint meeting. Powering through St. Mary's at Goodwood. With me at the end of the 1977 Jubilee End to End Run. Our thoughts are with Carol and the boys.

mike ellis Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very sad to hear this Julian, Chris and I joined the Register within days of each other. Always amazed how he kept that car so immaculate for so long while still driving it to its maximum. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very sad to hear the news of the death of anyone in the TR family, whether we knew them or not. Like Chris the early members laid the foundations of the club we have today. It is nice to see he was a racer and a “doer” - much respect! my thoughts are with those left to grieve and smile at his memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Another fond memory dissapears. Remember Chris well having met him at the Goodwood sprints, although only spoke with him a couple of times, as previously said as an owner myself of a tatty TR at the time how Chris kept his TR so impeccable and still used it fully as a family car was beyond us mortals. My respects and best wishes for his family and all who knew him. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G Denson Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 So very sad to see the news about Chris. When I started the Wessex Group with Ian Evans Chris was one of the first members and always attended with Carol. My thoughts are with his family.

stuart Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Very sad to hear of Chris`s passing, he was a good friend and often popped into the workshop for a natter with either his immaculate TR or his equally as immaculate 2000 saloon. Another good man gone. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
