Roger Williams was born in 1940. Aircraft became his first love & he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company where he quickly added motor cars to his list of prime interests. During the ensuring six years he not only completed his apprenticeship & studies, but 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, and to write several books about Triumphs and MGB restoration and modifications.
