It is with great regret that I report the passing of Marcus Chambers on the
5th August. 
 
Marcus, born in 1910, sadly passed away at the age of 98, 3 days before his
99th birthday.  One of Marcus's most successful motor racing achievements came
in 1939 driving an HRG to a class win at Le Mans. After WW2 he became Team
Manager for HRG Streamliners and then the first Competition Manager of BMC
from 1955 - 1961.
 
There is a private family funeral and a memorial services being held on the
3rd September at The Church of St James, Newbottle-cum-Charlton, OX17 3DD at
15:30pm.
 
A personal orbituary by John Sprinzel has been posted at:
