RIP Richard Parry-Jones

[Fresh Prince]

I've just read the news on Autocar that he's died following an accident on his farm. He really transformed Ford's cars starting in the 90s, and he's definitely left his mark. RIP.

Judging by the Sunday posts that went up today, quite possible that's not the case.. Hopefully they do an article about him, he changed Ford Europe and gave a lot of ordinary people the ability to have a real drivers car as their sensible everyday family runabout. A real loss

Most sites will pre-load content so it can be automatically ‘released’ over the weekend to keep users engaged.

Fair point. Regardless, I do hope they release something to commemorate him

I’d be surprised if they even knew who he was! 90s,....were any of them born then?

RIP from some who remembers carburettors to a guy who remembered carburettors!
