The obituary notice of Dennis Arthur DOUBTFIRE

It is with great sorrow that the MG Car Club Y Register heard that Dennis had passed away.
Many of us knew him well and those who never met him are very aware of the great contribution he made to the Register, to the Y type's continuing existence and to the friendly community that exists around our cars.
In 1991 Dennis was the leading light in forming the present Y Type Register. Together with Colin Rea, he gathered interested Y owners together and formed the first Y Register committee. Their first major event was a Tour of Brittany in 1992 by 6 Y saloons, this was followed by the first Spring Run in 1997 when 39 cars attended to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Y, The Y Register became so successful that it was awarded the Nuffield Gold Cup by the club directors the following year.
Although having been unable to drive his YB for some years, Dennis could not bring himself to part with it. He continued to follow our activities with great interest and passed his considerable collection of Y memorabilia to us 3 years ago.
He was a lovely gentle man and Y owners will remember him for many years to come.
RIP Dennis.
