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.

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.
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 have provided quite a bit of stuff for this book from my ollection, my car appears in it
. It is an unenviable task getting everything together. Looking forward to my copy.

Fell free Goff!
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!
