I'm sure we all have our favourites, but two I've read over the last year are to me essential.

THE LAST OPEN ROAD by B S Levy. A classic tale of motor racing in the early fifties. Not a true story but gripping reading. Available still. He has written follow-ups but the first is the best.

ALF FRANCIS MOTOR MECHANIC A true story of a man who was mechanic to HWM and to Stirling when he raced his Maserati. Hard to find and up to £100 in A1 condition but really essential reading.

So what do you recommend I buy now?
