Dear All
I have sad news
Spen King died recently
Spen designed the Range Rover, the original Land Rover and was a much lauded free thinker, inventor and innovator
Who will forget the JET 1 Rover Gas Turbine car from the 1950's?

He had had deteriorating vison but still insisted on cycling- and had an accident
His god daughter Nicola Wilks told me this

I expect we will hear about him in the motoring Press
