Obituary - Roger Davies

[mickeyduck]

I'm very sad to announce that we have lost another long-standing Club Member, a very nice bloke whose love of the MR2 was clearly demonstrated by his immaculate restoration of a Beams powered SW20.

We only found out when his wife Margaret replied to our Membership Renewals mail-out a couple of days ago.

Roger Davies was diagnosed with cancer in February 2013 and passed away in April.

It was always a pleasure to have Roger's company and I'm very glad to have enjoyed that at a car show and on a few runs. I think the last time I had the pleasure of Roger and Margaret's company was at the last run to Atiu. Our recent fun at the 4's n Rotas show (which is more about modified cars) made me keen on asking Roger to enter his immaculate Beams machine in the next Ellerslie Concours d'Elegance. Sadly that will no longer be possible.

And much more regrettably, we have lost a fine Club Member, a real nice bloke and someone who very plainly shared our passion for these SWeet machines. Roger will be missed.

Here's a couple of photos from the show at Beachlands back in November 2010:
