Sad to report that Ivan Cranch passed away yesterday. Ivan raced a 6CM Maserati in the 1960s and was also remembered for his Jaguar powered Ford Consul. I only knew Ivan in his later years when he had restored a lovely Alfa Duetto Spider and later his Lotus 6 and Vintage Riley. He was also well known for his craftsmanship on Alloy Bodies. I always found him to be very friendly and a real gentleman. Some years ago he suffered a stroke that affected his speech but still loved going out on Vintage Car runs with son Stephen in the Riley. We will miss you Ivan
