Hello folks

An old friend of mine lent me an autobiography of Colquhoun (or Colquohoun?) who built and ran the Vincent Sprinter ridden by Charlie Rous. I'd like to buy a copy but I can't remember the title or (as you can see) how to spell Mr C's name. Can anyone help please?:eek:

You'll be lucky to find a copy , it's very rare and self published by Gordon. I bought a copy at the time , Gordon was kind enough to sign it for me. It's a good read !!

Just as an update I tried writing to the address "rapcom" gave above and had a note back saying unknown at this address. Plus my stamped addressed envelope was returned unused by the post office!

Does any one have a copy of 'Brands Hatch & Beyond' that they don't want any more?
