Phil Thompson passed away on the 19th February 2019.
He was an active member on the aussiefrogs forum and had many followers on his "Barnie restoration" thread.

Phil lived in Adelaide & was also very active within the French Car Club in that region. Over many years, he owned an early 965cc R8, a Renault 750, Renault 16TS, Renault 18 and Renault 15.
At the time of his passing, Phil owned an immaculate R8 as well as an immaculate Caravelle, which his wife Sally also drove. There was also a Renault Megane which was Sally's daily ride.

Phil & I met in the RAAF & at that time I owned a 1950 Renault 750. We drove that car from Wagga to Sydney & back most weekends and that sent Phil onto the Renault ownership path. We also won the best in class in the Regie Renault Rally {up to 850 cc) for two years running. Phil was a true Renault enthusiast.
