My copy delivered today. First impressions, a fantastic book, very thourgh must have taken a lot of research. Some great photos and a section about the fans.
As Hindy says it's for a good cause. I never knew BEN existed until now.

BEN has been around for a long time, looking after the interests of Racing mechanics and team members. They have had some very good racing memorabilia Auctions at Brooklands museum, one year it was hosted by Murray Walker - very interesting to listen to him and his tales of motor sport. I nearly got into trouble by going for a pair of beautifully made stainless steel Testarossa V12 exhaust manifolds (just got a thing about their curves ok) which had been given to Murray by Enzo Ferrari when he went to interview him. They went for £600+ but would have looked great on my dinning room wall, probably would have had my dangly bits in the middle though.
