Account of Archie Scott Brown’s personal life, from being born with both legs severely malformed, through his countless operations that led to a remarkably normal childhood and adolescence. The author follows his fascination with fast cars, early wins in an MG TD, his introduction to engineer, Brian Lister, and the influence his driving had on the development of the marque.

A much admired book, winning book of the year by ‘Classic and Sportscar’ and described by Nigel Roebuck of the Autocar as ‘the most enjoyable book on motor racing I have read for a long time’.
