This may be a long shot but got a friend of mine whose grandfather worked at Rover factory in Solihull in the design and experimental dept. and died at work in 1962 his name was Reginald Buffery and she would like to find out about what he did,but she has been told that all the old records were binned when Rovers were taken over is this true and if so is there any other way information can be found,
