I was told this morning that Dave Wellwood passed away. I don't know anything further except that I'm in utter shock. He was so young and full of life. A truly great guy with a passion for restoring old cars. The world is less without him.

Hello Vintage Motoring Forum,

With a heavy heart and as a very very close friend and one who considers Dave and Sue Wellwood to be family I have to say I have been holding off on informing the group of the unexpected passing of Dave Wellwood on Wednesday 07-12-17 out of respect for the family and Sue so that the family could be notified.

Sue has asked that I let you know that there will be a Celebration for Dave at the shop located at 4746 Market Street Ventura, CA. on Saturday 22 July 2017 from 2pm-4pm as Dave would have wanted this as a celebration of life.

Please respect the Wellwood family privacy at this time of grief.

As more information is released by the family I will inform you all.

Martin Keller

Boy I miss my friend.

I'm disappointed to report that I'm working that day and there's no way I can make it. But I'll raise a glass to Dave on my lunch break.

Thanx Martin ;

I'm still working on a ride for me & my wheel chair, Tanny graciously offered but my leg is broken so getting into an LBC is sadly out of the question right now .
