Allan died last Sunday from complications three days after triple bypass surgery. He was 70.

He was a great designer, very good mechanic and good driver. He was an underrated Kiwi.

I posted this on the Race Team Mechanics thread but it may not have been noticed there so raising separately

See from post #75 on which are mostly about Allan including great photos.

He worked with the best. See post 80 photo of him working with the great Jim Clark.

Been reading about Allan , what an experience he had, I had never meet him he would have some stories like most here , I know Wally Wilmot that would have been in the same era as Allan , interestingly there were also a few from Tauranga on the same team , we all move on . RIP
