Chris Noulton passed away on September 3rd 2025 after a brave battle with cancer. Chris was a regular attendee at club events and also the Farimile natter with his splendid University Motors MGCGT.
This was not the only MG that Chris and his wife, Linda, had also owned but it was his most cherished. He also owned an MG ZB, MGBGT, MGA and T-Type MGTF. Chris may have been familiar with Surrey MG owners as he worked at “MG Bits” in Ripley. Previously he had worked as an untrained mechanic for Jaguar specialist Southern Classics. This led to the job at Ripley where he became known to many local MG owners.
He was also an accomplished artist and loved to play golf and at home lept an admirable Dinky car collection. Chris was indomitable in spirit during his illness and as recently as the MGC Day at Shuttleworth was still getting out and about with the car. Unfortunately, on that occasion, the speedo drive broke leaving him and Linda stranded at the hotel until rescued and helped by fellow MGC owners.
He will be sadly missed by his MG friends and family.
In 2024 we filmed a short interview with him at the Fairmile about his MGCGT which you can see on our YouTube channel below.
