Always a pleasure when our paths crossed - you'll be sorely missed Brian.
Take care

Default Give 'im a medal

Might I suggest The Club strikes Brian a Medal of Honour? Hang it on a cord with words summat like "For services rendered to the R75 Care in the Community". Make it from a melted down drop-link or front suspension lower arm bush - one of those b . . . s I can never get off.

All the best Bri.

Used one or two of your methods which saved me much time and scraped knuckles. Many thanks.

There cant be many members in the club who HAVEN'T benefited from Brian's expertise and kindness, along with the other T4 operators such as Russ, Trikey, and the southern based lads whose names I can't remember. Being only 15 minutes away from Brian I hope to still keep in touch as a friend.

We're all doomed now!

Brian has been a real treasure of knowledge when it comes to these cars and a real asset to the club in helping keeping these cars on the road. Whenever a 75 or ZT has had a real technical issue with it that no one else can fix, Brian's always been the man.

Hopefully Brian will still pop in on the forum now and again, besides you got to keep updated on the Holland trip 2020 thread

Yes, again, a huge loss to the club.

Bit of sad news this.


I think that we've all been helped by Brians experience and advice.Whilst we all benefit from the other 'experts' on here, losing such a wealth of knowledge is a bit of a blow to those of us trying to keep our ageing cars on the road.
