Peter Robinson's final book on the Motoring News Rally Championship, "The Beginning", is available this month, covering 1961-65.
A likely source of information on rally Minis from the days when at that level a registration number usually meant an original car rather than a log book.

Re: Memory Lanes - The Beginning
Afraid that's what it takes to publish low volume these days. He makes no profit I understand. I've had ten times the value out of his earlier books (1966-69 particularly) than some of the thin dross from elsewhere sold and acclaimed as great books.Pete wrote:How much is it?

Don Barrow confirmed mine as on its way this morning. (Peter only seems to use Paypal for direct sales, hence Don as an agent)

I know what you mean Steve, lots of work goes into reference books like this and it's obviously a gamble to pitch 'em at £50 knowing only the real enthusiast will buy it or say £30 and shift a few more books!? I bought the first one, not read the second one yet though, cos I'm too tight!
