Kit Heathcote's daughter, Valerie Pettifer, just informed members of the Ottawa Valley Triumph Club that Kit's passed away peacefully on Tuesday, 25 August, after a lengthy hospital stay with declining health. He was just shy of his 93rd birthday but had dealt with dementia for the last few years. Kit had spoken at our meetings several times to share his general knowledge of Triumphs and especially his European rallying experience in TRs with Ken Richardson in the 1950s (https://www.ovtc.net/news.html). Kit was an engaging speaker who was always modest about his extensive rally and Triumph experiences. He was a real gentleman and will be missed by everyone in the Triumph world. Cheers, Mike
 
Mike, I am so sorry to hear this. I found Kit to be fascinating, especially when "paired" with Ken Richardson at a VTR Convention or two. I'll assume Mike Cook knows about this and we will soon be reading a suitable tribute in The Vintage Triumph magazine.

RIP, Kit.
