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.
