Sobre IBD

Leyland Rover is an account of Ken Ryeland’s tours of the Far East as a service engineer for British Leyland during the early 1970s. After serving an engineering apprenticeship and several years working in Nigeria, Ryeland and his family returned to the UK, where he joined the Rover Company at Solihull. Later he transferred to Rover/Triumph’s overseas service department; his job was to see that Leyland’s Far East distributors conformed to all operational and engineering standards. The culture and different working practices in the various countries presented many challenges for Ryeland, but he manged to survive being held hostage by the military in Malaysia; interrogated by police in Afghanistan; hospitalised in Thailand and summoned to the palace by the king in Nepal.
