Derek Hill

Derek Hill - 1935-2015 RIP

Not strictly a post about my car build but this bank holiday my dad suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. A passionate engineer with a real can-do attitude, my dad was a major inspiration in undertaking the Cobra build and was a source of advice, guidance and leg pulling that I will sorely miss.
To most of us our dad is some sort of hero; mine was a super-hero. There was no problem, mechanical ,electrical or hydraulic that he couldn't work out and I hope in some small way I can follow that style.
I'm gutted he will not be here to see the Cobra completed but there will be a part of him in it and I'll always remember that when we hit the road.
