Our sincere sympathies to the Hyde family on their sad loss of Avon who I had known for nearly 60 years. His driving prowess was amazing as well as his ability to be able to manufacture and adapt things from virtually nothing. He will not be forgotten and I will miss our annual catchups over many years at the Skope meetings. Reunited with Marg - R.I.P. Avon

Remembering the fun times we had on race days with all of you back in the good ol´ days. (Plus all the crazy antics that happened while camping at Temuka and the Levels track!)

Now reunited with the love of his life Marg who was such a kind and caring woman.

Avon will be remembered forever by the motor-
racing community for his fearlessness, his banter, and his remarkable achievements on the track.

Sending our condolences for your loss.

Kay, Derek, Alice and Katy.
