Clifford Spencer RIP

Some NHMC members will remember Clifford Spencer who I co-drove for in 1980 to 1986.

I’m very sad to report that Clifford passed away on Friday evening 9th October 2026.

Clifford’s best result whilst I was sat alongside him was probably on the 1981 Anglesey Scaffolding Gwynedd Rally where we were first in Group 1 and so led Group 1 in the Castrol/Autosport RAC National Rally Championship until the second round – things went downhill that year after that.

Dennis
