    Tony Blain

    With great sorrow I report that Mr. Tony Blain of Redfern Motors Australia has passed away. Tony was a good friend, a true gentleman, and always there when I needed his advise. I will truly miss Tony. He had helped me out with oem and nos parts for decades and was always keeping in memory parts I needed which he did not have on hand at the time. He contacted me 2 years later on a sought after part. He never forgot me. God Speed Tony. We will see each other again. Paps

    Paul, I am very sorry for your loss. I had dealt with Tony several years ago based on your reference, he was a gentlemen.

      As far as I know Tony was good people and always treated me right. He always remembered me thru the years of acquiring quality parts from him. I heard of his passing and it saddens me that this has happened.

        Tony was founding President of our Australian Chapter and worked really hard on behalf of our Club. I also spoke to him and did business with him over the last 20 years, and he will be sadly missed.

          Tony helped me out of a jam more than once, and gave me two contacts in Australia which i've been friends with for years. Always had time, and was so patient. Sad Day & a Shame they broke the mold. *God Speed Tony.

              Tony contacted us to see if we could help promote the auction of all his materials last year. I am just guessing that he was aware that he was getting close to the end and needed to get everything in order. Very sad. Here is a brief message of his death and a celebration of life scheduled for March 5. Rest In Peace Tony.
