(William) Horace Saville
Horace collapsed and died aged 69, on Sunday evening (10 November) having just returned from his beloved Isle of Man, where he'd been watching the Pokerstars Rally, as ever in the3 company of friends.
One of the founding members of motorsport on the Island, Horace had beeen competing with success since the early 60s, in equipment as varied as Imps and Lotus-Cortinas. Having moved over to the mainland he joined Bury Automobile Club and has been a stalwart of the club ever since, always ready to help and advise on any aspect of motorsport. Most recently he has accompanied Tom Naughton as Co-driver in Tom's Mitsubishi Evo frequently achieving top 10 places in BTRDA events. Everyone he met throughout his long career will remember Horace for his gentle, genuine nature and the ever-present twinkle in his eye, and his ability to recount, with all humility, tales of achievements and acquaintances that would be the envy of most. For a little man, Horace leaves a big hole in many people's hearts. Condolences to all family and friends. |
