It's with great regret that I'm passing on the sad news of the death of Frédéric Delaere.
Frédéric who died earlier this month was a well known Belgium based restorer of AC and
Aston Martin cars. I know that Frédéric was known to many in ACOC circles, both in the UK
and on the continent. He was a regular attendee at Beaulieu autojumble and often met up
with other club members there.
I first met Frédéric in 2010 and we co-operated on several AC projects since that time. I always
found him to be very conscientious and helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble, especially
when it came to making sure every last detail on an AC, was as close as possible to when it left
Thames Ditton.
Frédéric will be greatly missed by his family and also by the many clients who's cars he either restored
or worked on.
Luke.
