This is my reply below.

So sorry to hear your news about John. Had breakfast with him at The Ugly Duckling on Sunday morning and he was in fine form as usual. On behalf of the 75 and Zt Owners Club our deepest condolences to you and the family. R.I.P. John. A hard act to follow.

John was the driving force and superb organiser for the Alan Jay Memorial Meet at the MacMillan Car Show which is on Sunday. I will post something on the Events and Meets shortly.

I can't recall meeting John, but I'm sure our paths must have crossed at some time in the last decade.

Our sincere condolences to his family at this very sad time..
