Tony Brooks

And How!

May 16, 2022 By pete

A few years ago we established a mini-feature entitled “And How” as a page to drop in short items, newsbits, addendums, etcetera. It worked fairly well. But after a while, I forgot to make further use of it. Then last week Graham Gauld, Rich Minor and Kendall Merritt had a few things they would like to impart, but shorts, y’know, things that would fit into a mini-feature. How do we do that within the VT format? Oh ya, I remember now. And How. Ed.

I am afraid I was unable to add anything to the comments about Tony Brooks as I had just left France after 27 years and getting adjusted to being back in the UK. [Read more…] about And How!

Tony Brooks Obituary

Tony Brooks passed away on May 3, 2022 at the age of 90. Our condolences to his family and many friends who knew him as a generous, loving family man and true gentleman, as well as a great race driver and successful businessman.

Tony Brooks, born Charles Anthony Standish Brooks in 1932, was a natural driver. He never went to driver’s school, never had a mentor. He was self-taught, self-motivated, extremely intelligent and knew what he wanted to do after the first time behind the wheel of his mother’s MGTC.
