Any old promotor drivers around

Efes:

Promotor driver John Preece with one of the old pavilion guards at the Baghdad Fair. Could be 86/87. This is one of my favourite photos of John in a pose that was so typical of him. Unfortunately due to his mood swings we also saw the other side of his character but John in that photo is the way I shall always remember him. Wish we knew where you were now my friend.
Click on John to see him jump out at you.

I may have found an address for John in Weston super Mare… How far is that from you Sandway? I’m pretty sure it’s him “John Leonard Preece”. Can’t find an email address for him. Perhaps he never made it to the digital age? I am fairly certain that it’s “our man”. I may try the old fashioned letter to see…

A letter in the post. Let’s see if anything happens.

A message from John L Preece in Weston super Mare today saying he’s the wrong John Preece. Did anyone know what the “L” in John’s second name stood for? Lindsay?

There was another John L Preece of Sutton Coalfield but he died in 2009. He was living with a family of Preeces (brother?) so I don’t think this is our man either… I also checked Australia

Sadly there are lots of “John Preeces” so he may be in with those. I found his second wife, Rae, listed in Lancing in 2002 electoral roll but after that nothing. She married John in 1988 in Shoreham.

So sadly I’ve drawn a blank. Shame!
