Hi. This brings back memories. When I was a lad in the fifties I bought his book "Specials" ( 0pen in front of me now) and also a book called "Building and racing my 750 specisl". Can't remember the author now. I built a quite good looking Austin 7 Special which went well but never got registered. Next car a 1930 Bugatti! Regards from Argentina!
