First met Tony in late 1981 always a world of knowledge even in those days ! Had a conversation with him only a few weeks ago about the Mopars at Carlisle event . A real shock to think he's not with us anymore RIP Tony !!

Sad to hear this, always liked talking to Tony, he was a proper Mopar Man and it’s a great loss for the Mopar & Muscle Car community in this country. Thoughts are with his family.

A real loss to the Mopar hobby, and especially to his family, always a pleasure to chat with, although he didnt agree with my " race any mopar" views,I dont think we ever had a crossed word.
Condolences to the family and Rest in peace Sir :salute:

Like all others here I was very sad to hear of the passing of Tony , he was a the back bone of the MMA for so many years and some might argue the greatest knowledge of Mopar history in this country , but he was not just into Mopars , no , he appreciated all muscle cars of all years and makes ,and has helped many owners with there valuations including myself.

I remember when I bought my GTO Judge (and I was getting some stick for it ), he was one of the first to tell me how much he liked it , and that one day it would be worth serious money , but what did I know ……………… he knew though .

I will remember him as being a true gent , a guru to all things Mopar , and someone who could always be found under the MMA guzebo with Sharon , and a smile .

Here's to you Tony ……………. my thoughts and best wishes go out to Sharon and all the family
R.I.P. Mr Mopar

I never knew Tony but knew of him and his significance to this club and our Mopar community soon after I joined the club in 2003.
Where would we be now if not for Tony?

Rest in peace sir! :salute:

Wow that is a shock. Sad news indeed and a great loss to the club / UK musclecar scene.
And more so to his family obviously. Condolences to Sharon and the family.
Always enjoyed a chat with Tony, he and Brendan imported our Dodge for us.
