At the time Ian was the major source of spares for the P6 and was at least as memorable for his photographic memory, which allied to the number of cars he had taken down to bare base units, allowed him to dispense detailed and expert advice to all who rang.

His contacts in the US and his regular import to the UK of worthwhile examples has raised their profile from mere curiosities to a mainstream sub branch of the P6 movement.
