Pleasant amateur who raced purely for fun, he worked as a furniture manufacturer until the 1980's. His father worked as a cloth merchant, including for furniture, which helped Geoff in his career. Died in Oxfordshire, in the John Radcliffe hospital, after a stroke. Geoff started his career as a teenager in 1937, when he drove a Bentley on the RAC Hastings Rally, then raced sporadically, including at the final pre-war meeting at Donington in 1939, until his last race at Goodwood in 1955.
