It is with great sadness that I have to announce the sad passing of my father Mr Peter West.
I’m aware that some forum members may not know who he was. In brief He was the driving force behind Westune of Bolton. We were an Alfa main dealer from the early 70’s through to 1985.
When the new Alfasud was launched he was impressed by the dynamics of innovative Little Alfa and immediately saw the competition potential. Over the years he gained a reputation as something of an expert on all things
Alfa with contacts being made all over the world as they sought his advice on problems on all models; from the 105 series all the way to the intoxicating Montreal and of course the Sud and 33.
To this end he became closely involved with the development, building and running of a number of the Alfa Romeo Dealer team Suds including the cars of John Myerscough and Rex Greenslade who was the technical editor for Motor magazine at the time. Over the last few years he had started to suffer from ill health and he finally passed away in Bolton Royal hospital last Thursday.
Louise West.
