Like many non-racers and youngsters growing up, I was in awe of Tony’s driving achievements, as well as his kind approachability and genuine friendliness. Latterly, observing him behind the wheel in historic Ferraris and Astons, were definitive lessons in understated skill. He was also an excellent MC and he guided several presentation dinners, I was involved with organising at the RAC, with a dry wit and endearing charm. Tony was always generous with his time whenever we met at circuits, and especially while I was researching the Triumph Dolomite campaigns (notably his Spa success over 24hrs in 1974), whether by phone, in written format and even asking me over to his home to discuss it. Later followed by a barbecue invitation from him and Charis, to join them among their friends. I was further in awe! A thoroughly decent gentleman, great writer and such a talent on track. My sincere condolences, Charis. Thank you Tony, rest well, sir.
