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.
