Mike Worthington-Williams sadly passed away yesterday in hospital. Mike will be a hard act to follow, not only for his writings in OBM (Unearthed & Feedback) . Also many vehicle owners have been grateful to him for his past work in recovering registration numbers from the DVLA, he always went the extra mile to get DVLA to re issue them. RIP Mike.

What a great shame. A lovely bloke who's output and help will be sorely missed.
Some years ago he guided me through recovering the original reg. on my C12. A lot of correspondence was involved and he invoiced me £30. I called him to query the small amount. He explained that he took the rough with the smooth and averaged out his charge. He flatly refused any additional payment.
A gentleman RIP.

One of the most interesting parts of OBM. He will be missed. R.I.P

Oh dear, that is sad news indeed. I too have reason to be grateful for his help and assistance on more than a few occasions. O B M won't be quite the same any more. Oddly I was in the process of writing something for his "unearthed" article.

In 2018 (aged 80) he was awarded an MBE for services to automotive history.

Sad news indeed. Only last week I read in OBM his obituary for his lifelong friend.

Sloper runs again.

Sad news indeed his pages in OBM were always interesting and a real gent in real life. RIP Mike
