MOTORING fanatic Reg Imray has been driving for more than 70 years – and he's never had an accident.
And the 91-year-old's amazing record is all the more impressive considering he's driven all over the world.
The former speedway rider from Exmouth, who owns a collection of vintage cars and mottorbikes, has driven through Canada and Mexico, and right across America from west coast to east, among other locations.
Reg, who still drives most days, first got behind the wheels while the Second World War was still in its infancy.
And he's very proud of his clean driving licence.
He said: "I have been driving for 72 years and I've never had an accident.
"I have driven cars and motorocycles all over the world since 1941."
Reg, who was born deaf, estimates that he's owned well over 170 vehicles throughout his lifetime.
And many are still on display at the World of Country Life museum at Sandy Bay, Littleham and the Bicton Park museum.
There's nothing he enjoys more than to head for the open road in a 1958 Austin Healey Sprite soft-top or getting astride a Harley-Davidson motorbike.
The former rally driver has won more than 300 trophies, medals and certificates.
He said: "My first taste of motoring came when I passed my test on a BSA motorbike, affectionately known as a Bantam. From then on, I just kept collecting everything I could lay my hands on and, quite frankly, have loved every minute of it."
He worked for aircraft manufacturers De Havilland and helped build the famous Mosquito planes during the Second World War. His amazing collection can be seen at the World of Country Life at Sandy Bay, near Exmouth.
