I met him once about 30 years ago - his daughter was in the same college at university and he came up to do a show for us. I seem to remember him attaching a trailer to his Rolls Royce with all the gear in it. Must be the only RR with a towbar! He was a really nice guy, very easy-going.

I quite liked him apart from his casual racism but it’s ok because he was from a different era

JLR1969 · 03-14-2018, 10:12 AM

Super, smashing, great

I use to like the fact that people from Doncaster could win a SPEEDBOAT!!
