I am currently working on a book (which may become a series of books) consisting of a number of mechanics' anecdotes. The Grand Prix Mechanics Trust is helping me by putting me in touch with some of its members but if you were a racing mechanic in any type of international motor racing during the 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s and have some funny or poignant stories you think are worth including in the book, please conctact me.
I am researching the Lotus rear-engined sports cars with a view to doing a book. At present, I have been focusing on the Lotus 19 but will also be covering the Lotus 30 and Lotus 40 and possibly the Lotus 23, although there has recently been a book published by Graham Capel on the latter. If you have any information or photos you think may be of use, please get in touch!
