Ron Crellin RIP

Post by coopertim »

Just seen that Don Barrow has posted on Ecurie Cod Fillet that Ron Crellin passed away yesterday. Another legendary name from the Works Minis era has left us. Rest in Peace Ron.

So sad to hear, I never did catch up with him as he fell out with my friend (his son) for some reason.

RIP to a legend.

So sad to hear about Ron. I met him a few times when doing research for GRX 309D which was his first partnership with Paddy on the 66 Flowers. He made Paul ( owner of GRX 309D ) and myself very welcome at his home and shared some great stories. Lovely man…RIP
