On Monday 14th July, Andrew Frost (College, 1958-62) passed away in Scarborough Hospital from Covid Pneumonia. He used to own the Majestic and Everley Hotels, and was also a successful rally driver.
OSA President, Miles Cartwright writes – “Andrew was my old rallying partner. He hadn’t been too well recently, and went on a cruise to Iceland. Whilst away, he developed pneumonia and was hospitalised on his return to the UK where sadly he caught Covid. Despite battling hard, he lost his fight on Monday.”
“The picture below is of Andrew and myself at the start of the 1973 Mintex when he’d asked me to step in when his regular co driver had to drop out 24 hours before the event started.
I stayed in the left hand seat for 2 years when he stepped away from the sport.
We returned to rallying together in 2008 in a Lotus Cortina, later using a Mexico and Chevette. He retired from the sport 3 years later. We had been friends for over 50 years and I’ll miss him and our banter. My condolences to Sandra, his children Andrew and Alison and their families.”
Andrew’s funeral will take place on Wednesday 30th July at Octon Cremetorium at 3.30.
