Johann "Hans" Schnabl RIP

Post by MiNiKiN »

I am very sad to announce that Hans Schnabl has passed away at the age of 81.
Hans was a friend and competitor of Niki Lauda and Helmuth Koinig, to name but a few.
He was a successful businessman and equally successful racing Mini Cooper S and Broadspeed Escort in the 60s and early 70s.

He still had so many plans for the future - hard to comprehend that this very likeable friend has left us all so suddenly :cry: :cry:
