Biografisk notat

David Rowe spent some of his evenings during the 1960s at an Austin dealership before taking on a full time role as an accounts clerk and then accountant at a Ford dealership and subsequently spending many years working in the accounts departments of three other motor dealerships. Athough he has never owned an Austin, he has driven around fifty of them ranging from an A30 to a Montego. He has helped to build and race cars, holds voluntary positions as treasurer for two car clubs and enjoys Driving Experience days. David has written three other books, including two more in this series: Rootes Cars of the 1950s, 1960s & 1970s, and Wolseley Cars 1948 to 1975.
