RIP MO NUNN

Post by JamesB »

Yes, the great (in so many aspects) Morris "Mo" Nunn passed away this wednesday, at 79.
I leave for brit fellows to add more details about him, and you may read the usually warm (in such cases) report by Maurice Hamilton:
http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/241 ... -1938-2018
So no need for me to talk about how many good drivers were related to him.
Most will remember the Ensign cars, so special, in a venture similar in many things as Copersucar's (and yet so diferent in others) that was reported a few days ago by f1m fellows.
Obviously you cannot forget that Indy win/title witn Fittipaldi...
For what I read in the mags it was a warm, nice personality. One of those gys you read about and felt sympathy for.
Race In Peace, as I usually say.

I remember him at Jarama in '76 supervising the Ensign of Chris Amon. He had the aspect of a very sick man, much older than 37, but well, ha have resisted another 42 years!!
His Ensign MN175 and MN180 were very beautiful cars. Good job Nr. Nunn.
