As I have posted a for sale ad about Gerwyns car in the for sale section I have been asked to clarify about his sad passing.
I met Gerwyn a few years ago at Portsmouth waiting for the ferry to France to go to Le Mans, he was with his lifelong friend Dawson who had just acquired a new DB9 that they were travelling in and Gerwyn being a lover of Morgan's came over to admire my car, we got chatting and over the next week and years spent time laughing and chatting about life the universe and everything.
He used to phone my friend who was with me on the LM trip Ian Simpson every now and again for an update and we always cajoled him into buying his beloved Morgan which he eventually did.
Sadly he developed a rare blood disorder which was not diagnosed until it was too late and he passed away last April, this was not picked up by us tm'ers as no one was in regular contact with him except via his posts.
I for one will miss his larger than life (in every sense) attitude and demeanour, he will be sorely missed by anyone that knew him.
I'm only sorry that I only found out recently when his relative posted his car for sale on a Morgan Facebook page that I like. I would have liked to have paid my respects to a real gentleman when he died but didn't get the chance, good blokes are few and far between.
RIP Big G
