What a great guy. I worked with him on one of his last GT40 builds (he bought a CAV Mk1 through one of my businesses GT International). Out of that car he created a spectacular replica of Ken Miles’ Le Mans race car. We had many conversations over the years and he always proved to be great guy and a true gentleman. A huge wealth of knowledge went with him. We had talked about how he ought to write a book and somehow catalog his experience. I will certainly miss him.
Over decade ago I bought an ERA 289 FIA that he built back in the late 90’s. I mentioned it to him and he recalled every detail as if it was the only o e he had ever built. Amazing memory….Ended up by selling the car to a customer. I continued to maintain it during his ownership and regretted selling it. I had the good fortune to recently buy it back. I am extremely fond of that car but now with Bill’s passing, even more so. Such a huge loss for everyone.
Rest In Peace Bill.
