Patrick Quiniou RIP
Sadly, Patrick has passed away aged 65. He was a great enthusiast of historic motor sport. Reported as follows,
Nous apprenons avec beaucoup de tristesse, le décès de Patrick Quiniou, qui nous quitte a 65 ans, étant né le 5 juillet 1955. Son fils Louis annonçant que son père était décédé ce jeudi soir 3 septembre. Patrick s’était rapidement passionné pour les compétitions de voitures anciennes, initié par ses frères, dont Michel Quiniou, le fondateur des bijoux Agatha, dont la propre fille Corentine, a elle aussi roulé en course historique mais aussi moderne. Patrick avait ensuite été élu Président de l’ASAVE, avant de devenir organisateur de grands événements dont le plus célèbre, reste incontestablement, Le Grand Prix de l’Âge d’Or. |

My sincere condolences to Carole, Louis and Michel.
Patrick and Michel were old school historic racers and the world is a poorer place for their stopping racing and Patrick's demise. RIP Patrick. |

Thank you for your kind words. My father always had a soft spot for the Brits' and a good beer with the drivers and teams in the paddock, I hope he will be remembered for that.

I did post on t break about Patrick helping me when I first went to Pau. More recently I had a young friend brake down in France. Quick message on FB and Patrick was soon on the phone to the repairing garage translating messages back to my friend.
Top top bloke. RIP. |

Very sad and way too soon. I met the charming Patrick very briefly at Brands many years ago. RIP
I'll transfer this to Tributes in due course, but it's right to leave it in here for now. (now transferred - JT) Last edited by John Turner; 23 Sep 2020 at 08:03. |
