I knew of Tony from his prolific appearances at historic motorsport events such as Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed, never dreamed I would work with him. Tony was a legend long before I joined the Classic Cars magazine editorial team, receiving his updates on 2CV escapades or another epic feature. Hearing his recollections first hand, always with great modesty and a cheeky glint in his eye, was always a pleasure. Especially anything to do with the Avon Tour of Britain. The reverence never faded. I will always remember him as a gentle giant, deftly balancing the Dino 246S on the limit through St Mary's, a sight I've missed in recent years... And, by his side through this period of later life, the equally warm and welcoming Charis - a more talented automotive writing duo I have yet to come across. I'll miss you dearly Tony, thank you for the memories. Race In Peace
