I am sad to report that that Murray passed away earlier today. He had been diagnosed with an untreatable cancer in January.

Murray was a true one-off, an eccentric and great Morgan enthusiast. He will be well remembered for his lime green Morgan Plus 4 that he trialled and used on the road with immense commitment and enthusiasm.

Murray and the MurrayMint Special will be sorely missed. A true Morgan chap.

One of life's great characters.

They didn't have a mould to break when they made Murray Montgommery Smith - because he'd been carved into a unique one-off.

Although we'll not see his like again here are two photos of him that say it all.

Murray and Frank McClain inspecting the John MacDonald engine in Andy Garlick's racing +4, Frank is drooling over the twin Webers on the other side of the engine, Murray meanwhile takes notes to use as incriminating evidence. That's Murray's unique Green/Blue +4 on the left of shot and Barry Sumner's 4/4 VMO on the right (sometime in the 1980s).



Murray in 2016 leaving Keith & Wendy Morris' New Year's Party, displaying his normal inimitable style.

Bob Northover tells me that the funeral is Monday Apr 8th At St. Mary the Virgin Church Silchester at noon. Hot lunch to follow, venue unconfirmed.
I will post more when I know it.
