Roger Wills
Roger was a prolific racer for many years and sometimes seemed toh ave cars in very race at Silverstone or Goodwood but seems to have gone quiet recently. His website is about three years out of date as well.

Derwent, I think it is maybe you that is out of date, I have enjoyed watching him race several times this year.
As fast as ever. |

Yes, agree with the above post! Roger is still with us and still racing. He also still reads this forum and makes the occasional post, but like many, doesn't feel the need to get involved on a daily basis......

Good to hear! It was great to meet him back in 2009 at Silverstone. You never know what you are going to find clicking on a thread like this...

Yep, I chatted briefly to Roger at the Classic, and still exchange the occasional email with him. I think having responded in a reassuring way to Derwent M, we can close this down.
