Author details:	Born in 1940 in Cardiff, Roger was brought up in Guilford and attended Guilford Royal Grammer School. Aircraft became his first love and he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company in 1957 as a production engineering apprentice and very quickly added motor cars to his list of prime interests, During the ensuing six years he not only completed his apprenticeship and studies, but built two Ford-based 'specials' and started on a career in the manufacturing engineering industry as production engineer. Works managerial and directorial posts followed and these responsibilities, together with his family commitments, reduced his time for motoring interest. In 1986 he started his own consultancy business and renewed his motoring interests. Most of his spare time is devoted to motor cars or writing. Roger has Four MGB's all of which he has rebuilt over a period of some seven years.
