Roger Crathorne was born at the same time that Maurice Wilks conceived the Land Rover and on the same road where the first vehicle was manufactured - Lode Lane in Solihull. He has worked for Land Rover all his working life - first as an engineer - and achieved fame as head of the Land Rover demonstration unit. Roger has probably done more off-road miles in a Land Rover than anyone else on the planet and has tutored more eminent pupils - including Prince William and Princess Anne - than any other instructor. His vivid, entertaining and highly personal tale is written by well-known car author Gavin Green to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic 4x4 maker.
