MG TD TF 1500 - Sad News Today

We've gotten word that Skip Kelsey passed away today. Skip was well known in MG circles, and for many years owned and operated Shadetree Motors in Pleasanton, California. For those of you who never had the opportunity to meet him, he was a great guy and real enthusiast. He'll be sorely missed.

That's so sad. Skip was a great Person and my prayers go out for Him and His family.

Truly saddened by the news. Our sympathy goes out to his wife Verna.

Of all the MG people I have known, no one was more into our passion than Skip.

If you have never seen his black TD, you have missed a super car. I remember the great louvers on the hood. I also remember he had a red arrow stuck on his tack with dollar signs on it as a reminder.

Skip's back yard was the home of a number of great tech sessions, It always was fun to see how many cars he could squeeze into his back yard.

I onloy have great memories of skip, guess that is the best way to be remembered.

Sad news indeed.
Though I never met Skip in person, from phone & email conversations with him I did consider him a good friend. The M.G. community has lost a great asset in this fine gentleman. My prayers go out for His family. I am sure there are M.G.'s in heaven... Motor on Skip!

I bought a pertronix unit from Skip. He was a real pleasure to deal with. Please accept my sincere condolences to his family and friends.

So sad Skip died, it will be a great loss for us MG enthousiast. I never had the pleasure to meet him personally but i did a lot of deals with him, i also bought a pertronics ignition from him and so did a friend of mine. God bless this good fellow and for his wife, i wish her good luck in the future, she will need it after Skip did die.

I had the pleasure of buying parts from him. He was a gentleman, and took the time to talk to you about them. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
