I couldn't say I knew Roger well enough to tag along to his funeral, but he was a nice Chap and was seen as such by many.

Hi
I had had many dealings with Roger over the years although I didn't know him well.........I sold him a car only a few years ago, always a gentleman in my experience.
re:- E658 LVC I rescued this car from a lock up in SE london some years ago. I was responsible for originally putting it back on the road, wheels, cut down gear stick, replacement turbo from a series one car, major clean up etc. - The car has a dubious history !!. You should have seen it when I got my hands on it - rough !! I've got more pics if you're interested.

A very memorable day indeed.

Here are some pictures of the line up and convoy...I didn't manage to photograph all of the cars there but there were a couple more CXs, and other Citroens too.

I'm sure that Roger would have loved seeing 4 Prestige's in his Pub's car park!! :lol:

Nice procession of cars there. Maybe it would have been fitting to use a CX estate for duties..

I love Rogers Prestige, meant to ask for a ride in it but didn't get round to it.
