Aircraft were Roger William's first love so he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company after leaving school, but quickly added motor cars to his list of prime interests. He completed his apprenticeship and studies, and built two Ford-based 'specials' before family and career interests took pride of place. However 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 two MGB-related books. He retired in 2000 and has since written three Triumph TR restoration books as well as this MGB Auto-Doc manual.
