British Rally Drivers Their Cars & Awards 1925-1939

"Wow the RAC Rally is intended to be a competition that anybody can enter with any sort of decent motor car and expect to do as well as the rest." With this statement, the 1935 RAC Rally programme confirmed the view that rallying was by no means restricted to the rich and famous. An examination of the lists of competing cars in British Rally Drivers Their Cars and Awards will reveal just how true this was, with a large number of family cars having been entered in the rallies. British Rally Drivers Their Cars and Awards details all the British entries in the Monte Carlo Rallies from 1925 to 1939 and comprehensive details of all the major motor rallies which were held in the British Isles during 1928 to 1939, including what was claimed to be the very first British Motor Rally at Bournemouth in 1928, the Southport International Motor Rally of 1928, the Brighton Motor Rally 1929 & 1930, the Ulster International Motor Rally / Circuit of Ireland Trial 1931-1939, the RAC Rally 1932-1939, the RSAC Rally 1932-1939, the Welsh Rally 1935-1939, the Blackpool Rally 1936, 1937, & 1939 and finally the Junior Car Club Automobile Rally to America 1936. Many of the photographs of rally cars contained in this book have not been published before, and with tabulated details of the entries listed year by year both in alphabetical index by entrant and car, super colour reproduction of some of the event programmes, and photographs of a selection of awards presented, this is an excellent reference work.
