More on my Rover P4

James Taylor discovered that my car was initially sold to the eminent Professor Maynard Amerine on April 27th 1962. This was 3 weeks after it left the production line on April 3rd 1962.

It turns out this chap was responsible for the establishment of the now world famous Californian Wine Making Industry, leading the research that lead to its success. Wow!

I'm so excited. He're a link to a page about him. http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/dept/bioag/collections/vitic/amerine.php

And this is what he looked like.
