Ford Prefect - Especially for Literature Enthusiasts.

This picture is of Seepersad Naipaul, father of Vidya Naipaul and his car the Ford Prefect. He was a writer in his own right with a few books and also a reporter with a Trinidad Daily. You can get some of his writings at the Carnegie library in San Fernando. I recommend the Adventures of Gurudeva and other Stories. You can see the similarities between him an V S.  In V S Naipaul's House for Mr Biswas, which is based on the life of Seepersad Naipaul, you can read about some of the travails he encountered with the Prefect.
