TC1474 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Just heard it on the news that the great man has died earlier today at the age of 83.I had the good fortune to meet him a couple of times, what a gent he was. He should have been knighted years ago. May he rest in peace and thank you for the wonderful legacy and memories of my youth.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2017/03/10/john-surtees-british-motorsport-legend-dies-aged-83/ Quote

Tango Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 RIP....... He was in our local town a few years back when Lola cars were celebrating an anniversary......and they were running some of their old cars around the ring road, with John driving one of them. He then made a speech from the balcony of the old town hall...... Quote
