Turner 950S the apprentice who returned to his roots | CAR NEWS
There isn’t a lot to say about Ken Robbins’ Turner 950S that doesn’t end in gushing superlatives.
Through enterprise and pluck, he rescued a car that, at one point, was communing with nature, although returning to nature is probably closer. What’s more, he did a fantastic job of restoring it. That in itself isn’t the curious part, though.
Scroll back to 1958, and the then-teenager helped to build the car first time around - Robbins was an apprentice at the Wolverhampton firm and stayed there until the lights went out eight years later.
As such, he’s full of facts about the marque and the man behind it.
“Jack Turner would have been 100 in 2016,” he says. “Of course, I didn’t call him that when I started. It was ‘Mr Turner’ or ‘Chief’.
“The funny thing is, I wasn’t massively interested in cars when I was a kid. I was into aircraft. I didn’t plan on building cars, but here I am all these years later still involved with Turners.”
Back in the early 1950s, when his trousers were shorter and his voice higher, Robbins had a less-than-glamorous Saturday job: “I used to live near Pendeford airfield, which was just across the canal from my house.
