Obituary – Ian Moss

Filed under: General by Fergus on May 20th, 2013

We were very much saddened by the shock passing of our close friend and long-time associate Ian Moss on Friday 17th May 2013. Ian has been hugely important in the Aston Martin race scene since the 1960s having been a works mechanic for 17TVXAML running DB4GTs 17 TVX and 18 TVX and notably the  most prominent DB4 GT Zagatos, affectionately known by the registration plates they share, of ’1 VEV’ and ’2 VEV’  which were both raced under the John Ogier’s Essex Racing Stable.

An amazing fact is that around 85% of the cars ever built by Aston Martin are still running, something here at R.S.Williams we are proud to be part of.

We always enjoy receiving testimonials from our valued customers and this one is no exception. Having had our client’s 1957 DB2/4 MKII in for some pre-rally remedial work and preparation which in our opinion transformed the car into a very pleasant driver, we sent it on its way for the big trip. Here’s what we gratefully received in return; Thank you Anthony!

Dear Neil & Richard,
