I first met Tony Dron when he joined “Classic Car”, subsequently becoming editor. Over the years, we worked together on numerous freelance articles for the magazine, one of which was the story of the motor industry had the war not intervened. He had many imaginative ideas, and will be much missed. Jonathan Wood, one-time Features Editor, “Classic Car”.
