Unfortunately, we must announce the passing of another long-term member of the club.
Allan Sim

Below are a few of the many tributes taken from our Facebook group.

I’m sure i speak for everyone in the Fivestars CZZ Owners Club when I say such a lovely fella, always had a helping ear for any MK1 related problems and a lovely man to chat to, rest in peace Allan you’re one in a million and sadly missed by all who new him, God Bless you

I’m so sad to hear this, Allan was a Mk1 enthusiast all his life and a loyal member of Five Stars for over 40 years and made lots of contributions to the club. Although I never met him face to face, we had several chats on Messenger. I have always respected his knowledge and ingenuity he was one of the best. Condolences to his family and everyone who knew him in New Zealand. RIP Allan.

Speechless and such sad news to wake up to. I have been corresponding with Allan very recently. A very helpful and kind man. Rest in peace Allan.

So sad we exchange many topisc about the old mk1 zephyrs .
