Back to all news
It is with great regret that I have to report the death of Life Member Marcus Chambers who passed away on the 5th August.
Marcus, born in 1910, was the oldest Member of the Club and sadly passed away at the age of 98, 3 days before his 99th birthday. Marcus’s most successful motor racing achievement came in 1939 driving an HRG to a class win at Le Mans. After WW2 he became Team Manager for HRG Streamliners and then the first Competition Manager of BMC from 1955 – 1961.
Condolences have been passed to his son, Hugh. There is a private family funeral and a memorial services being held on the 3rd September at The Church of St James, Newbottle-cum-Charlton, OX17 3DD at 15:30pm.
