Biography
John Arnold Clark was born in Glasgow in 1928. He joined the Royal Air Force aged 17, and rising through the ranks as he was educated, Clark became a Corporal and a Motor Mechanics Instructor.
After leaving the RAF in the early 1950s, Clark got a job in car retail and saved up his money until he was able to purchase a Morris Ten-Four for £70, and after restoring it, sold it for a profit.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
