What incredibly sad news.

I met Mike, like many, at several DeLorean events over many years and alway found him to be a thoroughly nice chap, full of enthusiasm and great sense of humour, he will be missed by many.

My sincerest condolences to his family.

All I can think of, is the great times and banter we had brought together over a common love of the Delorean motor car.
I don't have the words at the moment to express how sorry I am over this.


You and me both Darren. We were really good mates through our shared obsession of both the car and the conversions :(

Bit of a shocker! As most of you know Bozzy built the bulk of the Time Machine I now own, I bought it from him around 2 or 3 years ago. The quality of his work on Deloreans is faultless and his knowledge of the 'Time Machine' conversion is second to none - the car is testement to this. It has been a pleasure to finish the build and I always credit him when asked who built it. Cant say we were close, but his huge input to the cars and the club, his friendly advice and to helping people with their cars will mean his legend will long live on . . .

Can't believe that either.

Sadly I never met Mike but he was one of the first guys to welcome this expat to the UK DeLorean clubs when I first got my car and one if the guys I was most looking forward to meeting if I can ever sync a trip home with a clubmeet.

We had exchanged a few emails and he was always positive and professional.

I had hoped that he would resurface once more in our little world but not like this.

RIP Bozzy.

Very sorry to hear this and my deepest condolenses go to his family!

I've met Mike a few times on Eurotec and Eurofest and he surely had a passion for Deloreans. He sure will be missed.

RIP Mike

Guys, my thoughts are with all of those who were closest to Bozzy. His personality always gave those around him warmth. New member nerves were immediately put at ease, and he always spared a thought for a kind, selfless gesture somewhere along the way. I have one of those gestures to cherish in my home.

More recently, like myself, and like he has done before, he stepped back from involvement in the Delorean community. However I am sure I am not the only one who always had an eye on the horizon to greet him on his return. That feeling will never leave, even with this news.

I look forward to the next opportunity to share time and memories of Bozzy with you all. Love to you all.
