Tim Considine pictured in one of his favorite summertime activities and elements - observing and photographing the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance 2018. Tim was being honored for his historical connection in having owned and raced in this car ... that was later awarded first place in Class N-2 for OSCAs 1955-1960. This car, S/N 1168 Morelli-bodied MT4, is a more streamlined version of the previous MT4 designs. It was especially built for an American customer in late 1955. Considine wrote to Jodi Ellis (good friend and assisted Tim in designing his published works) after the event. “The OSCA I bought new in 1957 – I was 16 – and sold and lost track of in the early ’60s, won its class at Pebble, restored beautifully by the current owners in my livery. Note that two of the judges were Derek Bell and Tom Kristensen!” Image Credit: Albert Wong - Motor Press Guild (2018) |
A Shared Memory of Tim Considine 1940-2022 - Journalist
By: James E. Groth - Founding Member, Motor Press Guild - March 5, 2022
Like most young boys of my era, I watched Tim Considine, the young actor, faithfully portray Andy Hardy of The Hardy Boys and I identified with him as Spin in The Adventures of Spin and Marty . However, I know him because we were both charter members of the largest professional group of automotive journalist and public relations professionals. In 1983 our group was known as IMPA West. We didn't like being ruled by IMPA so we split from them to form The Motor Press Guild. As a board member, Tim’s direction added to the positive and most productive era MPG had on behalf of both members and manufactures.
