“A Suffolk man has spent five years building a car from scratch – but can’t drive it himself because he is blind. Pete Golsby, 68, felt as if his life had fallen apart when he was registered blind 12 years ago after suffering an immune system problem. Having always dreamed of building a car, and with lots of time suddenly on his hands, he decided to give it a go anyway. Incredibly he managed to piece together the silver Pembleton Brooklands sports car with the help of magnifiers and visual aids… “I’ve always wanted to build a car so I thought I’d give it a try and see how I got on. “I’m really proud that I managed to build it all. For me it was a matter of being able to prove to myself that I could still do it.” w/ photo
