Tony Jefferies (24 April 1948 – 29 December 2021) was a British Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. From a motorcycle racing family, his father was the frequent gold medal winner Allan Jefferies, and his brother Nick was also a TT racer.[1]
Tony won the 1971 Isle of Man TT 350cc Junior TT.[2][3] He won two more times at the TT in the 750cc Production class.
In 1973, he was paralysed in a racing accident, and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, continuing to run his father's bike dealership firm with his daughter Louise. A documentary was released in 1979, showing how he and his wife Pauline coped with his disability.[4]
Jefferies died on 29 December 2021, at the age of 73.[5] His son David Jefferies was also an Isle of Man TT victor.
