[QUOTE=D-Type;3160344]I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Archie and the Listers by Gerald Donaldson. It's exactly what it says on the cover: the intertwined stories of Archie Scott Brown and the Lister cars he drove. It captures the spirit of the fifties very well: the blend of enthusiasm, amateurism and professionalism.)
The bit where the team are bringing the stinking remains of Archies car home in the transporter after his fatefull crash captures the way things were in those days. Very haunting !
Iv just started "Poetry in motion..... Tony Brookes" . Looks like another good one.
