This is the life story of a kind and well-respected man, one of nature's gentlemen, who was well known to many vintage vehicle enthusiasts and historians.

Geoffrey Stevens died at the age of 95 on 11th August, 2008 after a short illness. He was one of our last direct links with early vehicle manufacturing in the Black Country, and will be sadly missed.
