Gordon Spice

Gordon Spice (18 April 1940 to 10 September 2021) was a British racing driver who competed in sports cars and touring cars in the 1960s and 1970s before starting Spice Engineering with fellow driver Ray Bellm in the 1980s. He began in Minis in the late 1960s and later drove for the works Ford team in the Capri 3.0S, winning his class five times between 1976 and 1980 and taking 24 overall race victories without ever winning the championship outright. In the 1980s he raced in the World Endurance Championship with cars of his own Spice Engineering or of Jean Rondeau and won the C2 class in 1988. In 1971 he also co-founded the motor accessories wholesaler Gordon Spice Cash And Carry with his brother Derek; it floated as a public company in 1986, but an over ambitious distribution centre and changing market conditions led to its demise.
