Robinson allegedy 'inherited' his money from a Belgian countess IIRC?

His rapid rise in the early days of BLMC is largely unexplained, as was his position (CEO IIRC?) at Innocenti of Italy. He certainly held high office at a very young age in an industry not noted for such things in those days.

He was famously head of Jaguar and was very popular. - A lot of staff actually cried when he left the job.

Certainly a very popular and charismatic guy, but to my mind there is something a 'little off' about him. I certainly wouldn't want to buy a secondhand car from him.

Just a brief fly-over his CV shows he is, indeed, an interesting character. He was a very popular MP also, and had a reputation for getting things done for his constituents. But he also got himself linked with Maxwell when Peter Walker (whom he resembles in many ways) was smart enough to walk away. Lord Stokes (of BL fame) liked him a lot, and saw his potential.
