We had breakfast together the following day. You can imagine the stories that were retold! We lived at the same time in the auto industry and he was indeed the real thing. As a historian he had a keen sense for the people in the industry and the environment in which they worked. It wasn’t just about the cars and, because of this, he made many excellent relationships which enabled him to write real insight. Richard is right. Graham was always triumphantly in touch.

Although I was, in the late 1950s, a Rootes pupil, I usually hung out with Standard-Triumph apprentices and on several occasions as group we’d meet with him a Coventry “coffee-house” called the PortoFini. Held him in some awe — he was by that time going up the ladder at STI — but he was always friendly, easy-going and interesting to talk to.
