Description: There were some hairy moments in the history of the BMC Competitions Department and the rules were bent on more than one occasion. The usual histories tend to gloss over such things, but this is the warts and all story of the Competitions Department, told by the three men who ran it from 1955 until close of business. Among other things you will learn how Paddy Hopkirk finished a rally when he had no gears for a considerable distance before the finish. It can be handy to have a service barge right behind you. It is a great story in three parts and a must read for any fan of rallying, big Healeys, Minis or classic rallying.
