I have just received my copy of "Mr Bristol", but have not yet read the text fully. There seems to be hundreds of photos of Tony Crook racing various cars between 1946 - 1955 plus recent glossy coloured photos of some of his personal cars, now with other owners and the history of 15 of his most significant cars.
There is also a documented racing history of about 200 races between 14th July 1945 (in an Alfa 8C 2900B) to 20th August 1955 in a Cooper Bristol at the Goodwood 9 hour race.
Although expensive it is beautifully produced hard cover volume with a hard cardboard slipcase.
I look forward to reading it .
As a bonus I also received a small format 208 page book "Dreamers " by Cornelis van den Berg which covers his interview of TAD Crook , this should be interesting as well.
A must for many enthusiastic Bristolians
Geoff
