Peter David Newcombe N.C.A., H.N.C.,

Sales Director.

I am the front line for shop sales & U.K. customers. I meet and talk to a wide variety of customers, from "it’s a Land Rover" man to those knowing all the information needed including the colour of the trim! I am known to customers as Peter, "the one with the beard" or (occasionally) something worse.

My job includes sales, ordering, despatch, returned goods and all manner of things.

Previous incarnations:-

Assistant Farm Manager, Mobile Office Delivery Driver, Caravan Site Manager.

I first got involved with Land Rovers in 1958 when I used to "drive" a neighbours' 1956 Series 1 SWB. I progressed to tractor driving at the age of 9 and was combining at the age of 12. I plunged into Land Rovers full time when I took on what was meant to be a temporary job for 6 months, with Penn Rental Service (Dingocrofts' parent company). Now look what has happened to me!

I drove many thousands of miles in S2A, S3 & 110 diesels on delivery work, usually towing 2 ton plus. I had many hairy moments over the years one being ;

I was coming down the side of a mountain in Wales towing a recovery trailer with disabled caravan on top (at least 3 ton in total), not able to hold in low gear. The surface was wet shale, there was a thick fog and I knew from previous trips that there was a shear drop of several hundred feet to my right plus of course hairpin bends! I needed a brandy after that, but had to make do with coffee.

I no longer have a Land Rover having sold my S1 three years ago to a customer (always a good idea!). I now concentrate on a Rover P6B (V8 estate) which keeps me busy.

In my spare time I also look after my wife and two teenage daughters, the dog, 2 guinea-pigs, 2 more cars, the house and garden etc......HELP!!!!!

Also after 15 years I am trying to stop dreaming part numbers, there must be something better!
