Brian Archer
Dear All
It is with great sadness that I have to report
that Brian Archer died
on Saturday afternoon, 23rd August. Brian had been in hospital since
the beginning of July when he was diagnosed with cancer. Following
major surgery soon afterwards, he had been improving and we had high
hopes of a recovery. Sadly that was not to be.
I am sure you will wish to join me in sending
your sincere condolences
to his wife, Barbara, son Andrew, daughter Debbie and the rest of his
family, not forgetting Andrew Forster who has been his business partner
for a number of years.
What follows is a brief tribute from Martin
Ingall which I think sums
Brian up perfectly, a real gentleman and smashin bloke.
I feel a great sense of loss at Brian's passing.
What started as a
business relationship very quickly became a true friendship. Brian was
an enthusiast first of all, a businessman second. He really loved the
cars, and the racing. He provided me and numerous others with the joy
of owning and driving a Sebring Sprite, a car rarely seen for thirty
years until he had the idea of reviving it. Whether by coincidence or
otherwise - at around the same time came the gradual re-emergence of a
number of the historic cars of which S221 was one. Brian's meticulous
preparation brought that car back to full race condition and he has
personally looked after it around the circuits ever since. Brian was
really the lynch-pin at the hub of a small group of Sebring buffs, and
assisted Jonathan Whitehouse-Bird with his research into EAO's history,
as well as Tom Coulthard when he and John Sprinzel were putting
together "Spritely Years". With his guidance and support I prepared
my
own car for a number of major historic rallies in the 90's. Above all
though he was an unassuming, highly knowledgeable, jolly, friendly guy
who was always prepared to help fellow enthusiasts and give free
advice. I know I shall miss him, greatly. Brian Archer - "one of the
best".

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
Brian's funeral will be held at the Robin Hood Crematorium,
Streetsbrook Road, Solihull, W.Midlands B90 3NL
on Monday September 8th at 1.30.p.m. (Sebring Sprites are welcome)
I understand that it has been suggested there
might be a Memorial
Service at a later date and this is being discussed.
Best wishes
