Triumph TR7 and TR8

ROGER WILLIAMS was born in 1940. Aircraft were his first love, and he joined the de Havilland Aircraft Company where he quickly added motorcars to his list of prime interests. During the ensuing six years he 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, and to write numerous MGB and Triumph TR books.
