Roger Williams was born in 1940. Aircraft became his first love, and he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company where he quickly added motor cars to his list of prime interests. During the ensuing six years Roger not only completed his apprenticeship and studies, but also built two Ford-based 'specials.' Family and career interests took pride of place for the next few years but, in 1986, he started his own consultancy business which allowed him to restore numerous MGBs, a Triumph TR6 and a Triumph Stag, as well as to write several books about both MGB and Triumph sportscar performance and restoration, all published by Veloce.
