How did Nissan UK start?

Hi guys,

 

As a Romanian born I was doing some research on the internet in regards to famous Romanians living/lived in the UK for my community website:

and found this:

Anyone else here knows more about the him? I can see there were few controversies about him to say at least, but very interesting to find out that he basically brought some of the first Nissans / Datsuns in the UK, making me feel somehow proud

 

Another reason to be proud of is the charity side of his live, over £100 million donated
