One always hopes that the news is false, but I have just received a message that Historic car restorer/preparer/racer Tony Merrick passed away this afternoon... In a huge range of cars he became a very influential member of the Historic Grand Prix Car Association, he worked for Tom Wheatcroft and the embryo Donington Collection, he restored BRM V16s and Mercedes Museum exhibits including a 300SLR Coupe, he and his staff brought Vanwalls back to life, and maintained entire flotillas of Ferraris and Maseratis and Alfas - and more.
Sincere condolences to his nearest and dearest...
