I have so many memories and stories from knowing Len for 45 years that i will post a few of them in this stories section.

Going right back to the beginning for the early days.

I first met Len back in December 1975 when I started dating Rosemary, after a few meetings with Rose I was told “you need to meet my parents”. I remember that it was a scary time as Len was about 6ft 3” and built like a heavyweight boxer and his hands were the size of a big bunch of banana’s and i was just 15 years old.

But I soon learnt that underneath that rough exterior was a great and helpful chap, of course as long as you kept in line.

It was not long before I was out in the garage with Len for long sessions of training in car repairs and maintenance on his old but beloved Rover.

Lens first challenge came when both Rose and myself got our first cars and as we didn’t have much money these cars left plenty to be desired, and took Len many weeks to get them even half sorted.

These events however helped us both enjoy these times and set up what would be a life long love of working together in all of its forms.

Right up until 18 months ago Len would still help out with fixing my Range Rover which i have owned for 25 years and Len and I have used off road throughout this time and carried out many repairs on. But it was a labour of love for us both.
