Description: "A man who in his twenties dared to take on the cosy club of import licence-holders who controlled the New Zealand car industry by building his own car for commercial procuation was always going to be someone to watch. Who could have picked, however, back in the early 1970's, that this young engineeer would one day persuade Sir Richard Branson to zip across the English channel in his amphibious car." --Bookdepository.co.uk.
