A collector and dealer in antique cameras, he displayed two of his classic Mercedes-Benz saloons at the recent S-Class launch at the Convention Centre.

What was your first car? In 1966 my boss was really into cars. His wife wouldn't let their children drive because she thought it was too dangerous - so he secretly gave me a Renault 850 so I could drive him to Repulse Bay for his morning swim.

How many cars do you have now?

Nearly enough, thank you.

What's your favourite car in the collection? My 1973 Porsche 911E Targa. Its lines, engineering and craftsmanship are still way above modern standards.

Your most embarrassing moment in a car? I bought a 1967 Mini 850, which I tricked out with my first aftermarket accessory: a Motolita racing steering wheel, with drilled spokes. As I was cruising around town, I absentmindedly slipped my finger into the hole - where it got stuck. I panicked and hurried home. It took ages to get my finger out.

Have you ever been stopped by the police? Never. I drive so slowly it wouldn't be worth their while to hassle me.
