Synopsis:
A biography of Reg Parnell who, as both a driver and a team manager, had a considerable influence on post-war British motorsport until his premature death in 1964. Parnell's complete career is covered, and the book includes details of letters, papers and contracts. Parnell raced at Brooklands and was banned following an accident with Kay Petre which ended her racing career. Before the war he brought up racing cars. Once the hostilities had ceased he sold them to form the basis of post-war racing entries. He later raced a whole host of cars before turning to management and taking Aston Martin into Formula 1. Parnell went on to run the Yeoman Credit team with the help of his son Tim who later raced in Formula 1 himself.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A bluff Derbyshire pig farmer, Reg Parnell cut a distinctive figure in motorsport circles. His wild early driving style and a serious accident at Brooklands led to his licence being withdrawn from 1937 to 1939. Undaunted he bought up unwanted racing cars before the outbreak of World War II and, when peace returned, sold them to form the basis of British post-war racing revival. He built his own Challenger car, teamed up in Italy with Count Lurani to compete in Scuderia Ambrosiana and raced a factory Alfa Romeo 159, a BRM V16 and Aston Martins and later ran the Yeoman Credit team.
