I received the same message from Jo. Very sad news, but unfortunately not unexpected.
Clyde was one of the first friends I made in the Bristol community in the late 1990s and he helped me establish the old BEEF mail list which evolved into this site. His first Bristol was a 411 S3. In recent years he has been developing a 406 Special with a Volvo engine and transmission. He has done a lot of work investigating alternative power trains for the 406.
Clyde is a thoroughly nice guy whom I have enjoyed many a fine lunch and beer with on my visits to the UK.
My sincere condolences to his family. He will be missed by many people.
