Richard Lloyd 1945-2008


Although yet to be confirmed officially we were saddened to hear of the tragic death in yesterdays private jet crash in Farnborough of Richard Lloyd.

Richard was recently famous as a Touring car team boss, but also had success with team Bentley that did so well at Le Mans, culminating in an outright win in 2003.

For us Triumph people Richard will always be synonymous with Gold Seal Racing and the highly successful plastic Spitfires from the late 60', early 70's.

Our condolences to his wife and three daughters, the rest of his family, and those of the the other passengers, and crew.
