A medical writer by profession, Peter has tinkered with old cars and motorcycles since his teens. He has raced in most forms of motorcycle sport and won 2nd place in the prestigious Motor Cycle News Special of the Year competition with his lightweight Norton. He was a technical and roadtest contributor and cartoonist for British Bike Mechanics / British Bike Magazine in the 1980s. He built his first E-type in the early 1960s as an Airfix kit but has since built his own tuned 2+2 from a collection of parts and advised others on all manner of issues related to these fabulous cars.
