Obituary -- Cliff Davis

With regret, we record the passing of Cliff Davis at his London home, aged 68.

Generally described as the ‘flamboyant Cliff Davis’, he was a motor trader specialising in American cars, who made a name for himself in Fifties club racing, particularly behind the wheel of LOT 500, the Tojeiro-Bristol which was to inspire the AC Ace. He retired from racing at the end of 1956 to concentrate on his business but returned to midget racing in the Sixties.

A larger than life character, with his trademarks of handlebar moustache and checked shirt, Cliff will be sadly missed.
