VR: What was your first interest in motor vehicles? Was this when you were a lad, or later life?
DK: As a boy, I was always fascinated with cars. I built up my own collection of toy cars, like most boys do. I was always good at identifying the makes of cars; even at night I developed an ability to identify a car simply by the shape and position of the headlights. Even so, at that point I hadn’t envisaged a career engaged with motor vehicles it was just a hobby, something many young boys did at the time.
