That don't make 'em like that any more. A real character. He and his sometimes outspoken comments will be sadly missed. RIP.

A remarkable life. I'd love to have bought a car from A. Crook.

The world is a more interesting place because of people like Tony Crook. It is inevitable that a single-minded pursuit of an esoteric vision will cause controversy at times, but life would be dull if idiosyncratic characters like Tony weren't around.

With a bit of time I hope someone does a full warts and all retrospective. He was such an interesting bloke.

We certainly need a few more single minded eccentrics like him and the likes of Peter Wheeler. The cars may divide opinion but none could say they were boring.
