BRITISH TOURING CAR RACING IN CAMERA

BY

GRAHAM ROBSON

EDITION 2008  240 PAGES LARGE HARDBACK

 The first official British Saloon Car Championship was held in 1958, so 2008 marks the 50th anniversary of this ever-competitive, highly popular form of racing, now called the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). This book is a photographic sweep over the entire 50 years, featuring plenty of well-known and exciting cars as well as numerous notable drivers, including World Champions such as Mike Hawthorn, Jim Clark and Graham Hill and colourful characters such as Gerry Marshall, Barrie 'Whizzo' Williams and Tony Lanfranchi. Containing over 250 photographs and informative captions, this book will be a stunning addition to the bookshelves of race-going enthusiasts

Graham Robson, the world's most prolific author of motoring books with over 120 to his name over the past 35 years, knows this subject very well indeed, and has first-hand memories of saloon car racing back to the early sixties. His recent Haynes title Boreham: 40 years of Ford's motorsport dream factory, won the Guild of Motoring Writers' Montagu Trophy in 2004.

"PASSIONATE ABOUT HISTORIC MOTOR SPORT"

MOTORING-MAN 

BUYS AND SELLS ALL HISTORIC RACING 

AND 

CAR MEMORABILIA

AND I SPECIALISE IN JOCHEN RINDT

I HOPE ANYONE WHO BUYS FROM ME ENJOYS THEIR PURCHASES. I AM A REAL ENTHUSIAST AND WOULD HATE TO DISAPPOINT ANOTHER FAN SO I REALLY TRY MY BEST TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING HONESTLY AND TO PACK EVERYTHING WELL. IF THERE IS EVER MISTAKES I WILL ALWAYS TRY MY VERY BEST TO RECTIFY THEM.

AFTER FOLLOWING MOTOR RACING SINCE A YOUNG BOY I GOT TO AN AGE WHEN I STARTED TO LOOSE INTEREST. ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO SELL MY LIFE`S COLLECTION AFTER THINKING MY KIDS WOULD HAVE NO INTEREST. THIS SPARKED OF MY PASSION AGAIN AND I HAVE ENDED UP WITH THIS WONDERFUL BUSINESS. 

MY SON CHARLIE SOON CAUGHT THE BUG TO AND HAS A SHOP CALLED MOTORING-MAN-BOUTIQUE AND IRONICALLY  MY DAUGHTER TRAVELS WITH THE GP CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD AS SHE HAS ENDED UP A PRODUCER FOR FORMULA ONE ON SKY TV.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE LOTS OF GPs  IN EUROPE AND HAVE BEEN TO LE MANS EVERY YEAR EXCEPT THREE SINCE 1977.

 MY FAVOURITE CARS AND DRIVERS GO BACK FURTHER THAN MY MEMORIES AS I JUST LOVE THE 1960S SPORTS CAR RACERS. CHAPARRAL, GT40 AND OF COURSE THE 917 ARE ALL MY LOVES. I HAVE AN INTEREST IN JOCHEN RINDT AND HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED JACKY ICKX. MY BIGGEST INTEREST HAS TO BE THE 1930s SILVER ARROWS.

THROUGH THIS BUSINESS I HAVE BECOME VERY FOND OF MOTORING ART AND I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO REPRESENT CHRIS DUGAN A VERY FINE MOTOR ARTIST AND A GENTLEMAN

ALTHOUGH I SELL 1000s OF ITEMS THROUGH EBAY I DO MY BEST TO SPECIALISE IN SOME OF THE LESSER KNOWN FORMULAS LIKE FORMULA FORD, JUNIOR, 5000 AND OTHER CLASSIC RACE CARS. THIS IS BECAUSE I AM AN ENTHUSIAST OF THE CLASSIC MEETINGS LIKE GOODWOOD, LE MANS CLASSIC, OLDTIMER, SILVERSTONE HISTORIC ECT

ON FACEBOOK I HAVE A PAGE WHERE I RUN COMPETITIONS TO WIN PRINTS AND MEMORABILIA AND A PLACE WHERE WE SHARE OF STORIES, PHOTOS AND PASSIONS.
