John Surtees CBE (1934-2017)

Friday 10 March 2017

The Vintage Sports-Car Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former F1 and motorcycling World Champion and Club Member, John Surtees at the age of 83.
A true legend of motorsport, Surtees is the only man to have won World Championships on both two and four wheels, which included four 500cc motorcycle victories in the 1950s and ’60s and the F1 title with Ferrari in 1964.

Our thoughts are with the Surtees family at this very sad time.
