Passed On – Brian Griffin

Posted by Michael On January - 21 - 2008

It is with regret we have to inform you of the sad passing of Brian Griffin.

Brian passed away in Cheltenham Hospital during the early hours of Sunday 5th January after a short illness. Over the years Brian’s contribution to the British Car Industry, especially the MG marque, has been truly enormous. Starting in1960 with the British Motor Corporation where he served a five-year apprenticeship at Longbridge he remained with the company in all it’s guises until the closure of MG Rover, and MG Sport and Racing,

After this Brian remained active around the MG scene and with his wife Marion, ran their own business, X Power Products. He always had a smile on his face and time to talk.

So many times Brian has made the seemingly impossible happen for MG and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We send our condolences to Marion and family.

His full obituary can be read here.
