Why was he known as 'Bunny' then?

You can tell us here, we won't spill the beans.

This may not be the appropriate venue, but I saw a post in which Lord Strathcarron of Banchor mentioned a "famous motoring journo, Bunny Tubbs" with whom my father had a long-standing friendship. I am looking for someone who might know how to contact someone from Bunny's family who might be interested in having the several dozen letter he wrote to my dad.

I'm Bunny's daughter - if you could pm me with an email address I'd be grateful.

Many thanks

Can you possibly message me "Bunny's Daughter" knew your father and visited him at Winfield i n1995

I've put them in touch with each other. I've no idea why he was called Bunny, bu he was of a generation where nicknames were much more common than they are now. I remember him as a respected motoring journalist - not sure if he was also a racing driver.

He was known as Bunny for family reasons which are lost in the mists of time. However to a lot of people (family included) he was simply DBT. He certainly never used his given name.

He wasn't actually a racing driver, but he had a very wide ranging knowledge of cars and motor racing having been a motoring journalist since before WW2. He regularly test drove the new models, knew most of the motor racing fraternity of the 30s 40s, 50s & 60s and lived, breathed & dreamt cars and other machinery. Quite simply, he was the best.
