Biographie de l'auteur

Mirco De Cet was born in a small village in the Dolomite mountains north of Venice in Italy. His early years were spent living amongst the farming community. It was this environment that gave birth to his love of all things mechanical. When he moved to England with his mother in the late 1950s, his interest in cars and motorcycles grew. As part of the tractor club at school, he learned how to drive and operate a tractor.
