His Roller is still out there.
Taxed and MOTed and being driven about 1000 miles a year.

Me and a mate were hitching back from Blackpool after a dismal defeat in the 1969-70 season that saw us going down from Division 2. We were getting a bit desperate about getting home and then an immaculate car pulled up to offer us a lift. None other than Doug and his missus in their Roller.  He was good company on the drive home and spent as much time talking about the Villa as he did telling us his rags to riches story. It was a kind gesture...and the first time I'd been in a car with electric windows.
