It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have to inform you all of the loss of long term forum member and friend Roger Mills at the age of 57.

Roger passed after a 6 month battle with liver cancer, peacefully at 3am on Tuesday morning with partner Diane by his side.

Roger was a man of few words but like us all, had a passion for the marque and attended many events including our Monaco or Bust trip in 2018 and Viva Espana in 2017. He was a regular at our Ace Cafe and other social meets.

He also had a classic TVR and was equally involved with them.

Roger was RAF who retired 2 years ago to perfect his golf swing. During his RAF Police career, chaperoned many Royals on flights around the world.

Roger leaves behind, his partner Diane and two daughters, Ellie (14) and Jess (18).

Unfortunately, due to the current lock down there will be no funeral of such but we will be organising a memorial later in the year in his honour.

I am sure you will all join me in passing on our sincerest condolences to Diane and his family.

Met up with Rodger a few times over the years at both the Bristol Auto Italia, Cotswolds Christmas drive out and breakfast club meets.
Sad to read of his passing and condolences to his partner and daughters. RIP
