My girlfriend, now wife, worked in the sales office about 1962/3 when David Plastow was MD. She got to see all the millionaires coming over to choose the specifications etc.
I just wonder if its a lack of the usual marketing expertise that let us down with both RR and Bentley. It is difficult to see what was in for them but sponsors nowadays spend millions on football and related stuff. You would think a world famous academy which we are supposed to be would be of interest.
Did you work there around the same time CD? I assumed you are a young kid?
