I came across this strange article ‘Bristol and Beyond’ in Cars for the Connoisseur. It suggests the article was written by TADC, but it is clearly written by the editor. I quote:
‘In July of last year I took a telephone call from Tony asking me in future to send Cars for the Connoisseur to his home address. He told me that he had turned up for work one morning, only to find a security man on the door barring his way and the locks changed to his office, and that of his long-time PA Anne-Marie. Naturally he was devastated to be removed from office in this way after so man years at the helm. Before Christmas I received a card confirming that he was no longer associated with the company and:-
He did not voluntary retire.
He is not working from home
He has not been ill and having a rest
Earlier this year the following announcement appeared:
“Due to a disagreement on the future running of Bristol Cars Tony Crook who had been with the company for over sixty years, most of the time as the sole shareholder, was dismissed. These matters were settled at mediation on the 7th of April 2008”
How true is this, I wonder?
