This may not be news to some of you however I have just been informed about the death of John Blankley. John was a long term member of the owners club and owned and raced an Olympic amongst other cars.
John died in December after a long illness he was 84 having been born in 1937.
I met John on quite a few occasions and was captivated by his tails of his racing career which included racing a Unipower GT which was developed from my own Unipower GT prototype P1. He later went on to rally an Olympic with HERO, and gave us an interesting talk at one of the Cheshire Kit Car Shows about rallying through Africa in (I think) an Austin A60, possibly Cambridge.
John will be sorely missed and our thoughts go out to his family. _________________ Working to increase the profile of Rochdale Cars |
