MANOR GARAGE, WANTAGE - Key Persons
Richard Chapman is the proprietor of Manor Garage, Wantage, and was trained as an apprentice in engineering at Cowley Motor Works. He then worked in Product Control, serving at Cowley from 1978 - 1989. During this time, as an MG enthusiast, he enjoyed restoring MGs as a hobby, initially from home in 1982 where he continued doing so for the next ten years, before deciding to take the big step of voluntary redundancy so he could open his own restoration and repair business, specialising in classic cars.
