To my knowlege Eric and Tiger Tom were the only people in the Sunbeam fraternity who knew George Maglackelidge. George was 63 years old and drove an Alpine as his primary transportation for over 30 years (same car).
George was not a wealthy man. He kept his car running on used parts many of which were well worn. He was an excellent body man and mechanic.
George had a massive stroke and died while under his Alpine installing a transmission which he had put together from two transmissions which had different problems.
We had nothing in common except Sunbeams. But we talked usually twice a week.
George was very involved in the three year restoration of my Tiger (just finished it).
George was not a joiner. To my knowledge he belonged to no clubs. But I personally believe that he was the ultimate Sunbeamer. He never thought of driving anything else. I will miss him.
