Sir Colin Giltrap
 Giltrap Motor Group has supporters drivers, teams, individuals for what seems like forever. I can always remember Mr Perkins’ ‘86 VK Commodire with the Giltrap brand right across its flanks, supporting people across the spectrum. |

Many people have benefitted from Sir Colin's philanthropy over the decades, many in the motorsport industry. The Giltrap name has been present on many a car or helmet over this time. But also support with no personal recognition or visible sponsorship.

He really did do a VAST amount for NZ drivers & teams, as well as in the mainstream motor industry - genuinely a towering figure and someone who will most definitely be missed. Vale
