Re: Book review
Many thanks for this info Chris, I had seen the Automobile review, but did not know it had also been featured in Practical Classics, I will get a copy in the morning!
Classic Cars and Classic & Sportscar have also reviewed it, both of them liked it.
Very best wishes,
Noel Stokoe

Re: Book review - A Century of Memories
I've read the book, and if you didn't get it for Christmas, then get your loved one to buy for you as an Easter present!
Take it with you on holiday, and whilst the other half is sunbathing, sit under the 'banyan tree' and read it to your heart's content.
You will not be disappointed. If you spread it out, it will last 10 - 14 days!!

Re: Book review
It is also reviewed in The Automobile January 2011.
I received a (signed, thank you Noel) copy for Christmas and it is, as usual, a very good read.
In the same issue of The Automobile there is '53 Javelin advertised (Pioneer Automobiles) for £6750 and a report on the autumn seminar of The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain at which Ed Nankivell spoke on special bodied Jupiters.
Keep 'em coming!

The devil is in the detail!

Re: Book review
Noel's latest book 'A Century of Memories' is FANTASTIC! He has really surpassed himself. If you haven't got a copy yet, get one. I know Noel will even sign it for you, if you ask him nicely.
Well done, Noel
