Fond memories of Bob. We lived in Wokingham in 1990's and met him quite often when out and about locally in our Austins. We both ended up at a VE day celebration in the town centre in 1995; Bob had a very original 12/4 Windsor and I was driving my 1930 12/4 Open Road tourer. Bob's car was on an initial drive after restoration and he had trouble with the magneto. When the event was over, the Windsor refused to start so we lashed a tow rope to the Open Road and I towed Bob back to his house, which was only a short distance away. I managed to get my copy of "The Motor for the Millions" autographed in return. It's still a very important part of my reference library, even though very dog eared and grubby!
Sad to hear of his passing and condolences to his family.
