FAST FORDS

Name any fast Ford from hot Anglia to 4WD rallycross Capri to Supervan, GT40, works RS500 –long before I joined the mag. So there’s plenty of material for these memoirs of his times with the Blue Oval; he was also a Ford PR man for some years, and he’s the precision driver in many TV and magazine ads from the ’70s and ’80s. Some great tales here: hair-raising helicopter shoots, gate-crashing a BMW press launch with a Cosworth, racing a Capri in the Spa 24 Hours and twowheeling Supervan 3 round Silverstone. A cheerful cross between an insider memoir and a history of go-faster Fords, it’s a fun read.
