From the publisher: "The exploits of the BRE race team from 1970-72 were well chronicled in Sylvia WilkinsonÂ's now legendary book from the period, The Stainless Steel Carrot. Long out of print and still highly sought after, Sylvia finally succumbed to pleas from fans of that era to reprint the book. She has done that, and consistent with her pursuit of excellence, Sylvia has updated the book to include: An additional 46 page chapter that catches up with the BRE team members today, finding out what they think now of the BRE then, and knowing what they know now, asking how they feel today about the era and how motorsports has changed. Numerous pages of additional photos, with quality captions, documenting John MortonÂ's career after BRE The book, of course, contains the original text and photos plus the additions above, including more than 150 photos! (a nice mix of both color and black&white). The Stainless Steel Carrot shares, without prejudice, the trials and tribulations of the eraÂ's top race team." GoodReads rating: 4.27 stars.
