Description

The heroic story of Archie Scott Brown and the racing marque he made famous. A never before told story of endeavor, tragedy and nostalgia. If there is one race driver whose life captures so many elements of courage and success in his field, it is Archie Scott Brown. If there is a cipher for engineering excellence, a desire to do it, and do it right, it is Brian Lister. Get the full story in this first complete history of the glorious Lister cars – powered by MG, Bristol, Maserati, Jaguar and Corvette. Foreword by Brian Lister.

The book chronicles Archie Scott Brown’s personal life, from being born with both legs severely malformed, through countless operations that led to a remarkably normal childhood and adolescence. The author follows his fascination with fast cars, early wins in an MG TD, his introduction to engineer, Brian Lister, and the influence his driving had on the development of the marque.

A much admired book, winning book of the year by ‘Classic and Sportscar’ and described by Nigel Roebuck of the Autocar as ‘the most enjoyable book on motor racing I have read for a long time’.

Hardback and dust cover virtually as new. Definitely one for the library!
