Nick Smith

[Tony Hunt]

I have to report the sad news that Nick Smith, a well-known member of the Surrey Area suffered a fatal heart attack on Saturday.
Club members will have read Nick's article on getting his Tornado through SVA in Fortyfication 82 in June. I had lunch with him last Thursday and he was full of the modifications he was doing to his car in preparation for the Le Mans trip next July.
Nick was a true gentlemen, a lovely man with a wicked sense of humour and a true Club enthusiast.
Janet and I are in touch with Montserrat and are giving her as much support as we can in her trying time.
I will post details of the funeral when they are known.

I had never met Nick, but please pass on my condolences to his family.
How sad.

How sad. A really nice guy.
Tony - Please offer my condolences.

This is very sad. Deepest sympathy to Montserrat. I will miss our conversations at the Club meetings.

As chairman of the GT40 Enthusiasts Club I'd like to pass on my condolences, but as friend and fellow GT40 enthusiast, I'd like to pass on my thoughts and prayers for a true gentleman who'll be sadly missed... Andrew Komosa

My condolences also to his family - RIP Nick.

There was a good attendance at Nick's funeral today - 4 members and wives.
Montserrat was very appreciative of our effort.
During the service we discovered that Nick was much more versatile and achieved much more than his quiet, unassuming nature would have suggested.
There will be an obituary in the December magazine.
