After many years working in the accounts departments of four motor dealerships, David Rowe is now retired. His knowledge of, and enthusiasm for vintage British cars is borne out by his regular attendance at car rallies and shows; he is also the Treasurer of the Humber and Hillman Owners' Clubs, a member of the Post Vintage Humber Car Club and the Rootes Archive Centre Trust. He has helped build and race cars, enjoys driving experience days, and has written several books, including Ford Cars: Ford UK cars 1945-1995, Rootes Cars of the 1950s, 1960s & 1970s; Austin Cars 1948 to 1990, and Wolseley Cars 1948 to 1975.
