He also lectures there on folk music, has published several books on the subject and made some records.

Gordon Wilkins covers the London Motor Show

Haven't we met somewhere before? Most of the new cars at Earls Court this year have a familiar look. There are styling and engine changes in the British Leyland, Rootes, and Vauxhall range, but the only new car is the XJ Jaguar.
How does this face-lift for old favourites affect the customer? Will it keep up second-hand car prices, or speed up service and spares? Will the mergers in the motor industry result in even fewer new cars in future shows?
