So sad to hear that Chris Lawrence has passed away peacefully. Great engineer and real friend but also an inspiration from a golden age XXX

Sad to hear he passed away as he was one of Charles' testers for the original Aero 8 development car and helped Charles make the Aero's a stunning car to drive, especially after driving 9000 miles alongside Charles in Gumball 3000 and VMax. Rest in peace Chris.


Regards,

Dan.

That really IS sad news - i´d hoped he´d be able to experience the 50th anniversary event of his & R.S.-B.´s LeMans victory next year.

Chapeau to a dignified engineer & ambitious man!

"Another best bit with Chris Lawrence and the proto Aero 8, was when CEO powertrain BMW said, at last a chassis where I appreciate my engine" another quote from Charles Morgan's twitter. laugh

The great bit about the Aero is the Chassis -- all down to Chris Lawrence -- not so sure that the styling was Morgan's finest hour, but -- hell, it's a Morgan and I'd love one!!!!

Sad that Chris didn't see the 50th anniversary celebrations.

Sad news indeed - Rest assured TOK 258 and many of her brothers and sisters will carry his Le Mans success into immortality.

What a man.

Excellent article on him in this months Miscellany, also came across these two excellent photos of him on the MMC website with P1 AER and a sliver of AR08 MMC, my former Aero Series 1 and the AeroMax prototype; now owned by Rich.

I've asked the Works for copies of both photos, as I would like to frame the one of him and Kermit.
