Relive the joys of old-time motorsport race and rally cars with motoring journalist Alan Anderson as he takes you on a nostalgic trip celebrating saloons, roadsters and coupés from the late 1950s – think classics such as the Ford Anglia – all the way to the 1990s, the decade that brought us one of the best-selling two-seater sports cars of all time: the iconic Mazda MX-5.

My Dad Raced One of Those presents fifty of the most successful classic race and rally cars from this period, detailing what made them such formidable cars across the different disciplines of racing, rallying, sprinting and hill climbing. Above all, it’s a celebration of a golden era of motorsport and how you, too, can experience the thrills of this accessible, low-cost motorsport all over again.

Entertaining and informative in equal measure, this is a must-read for classic-car enthusiasts and lovers of motorsport alike.

ALAN ANDERSON was a launch journalist on Fast Car before swapping to leading motor trade titles at Haymarket Publishing where he launched Fast & Workshop. He went freelance in 1995 and worked on all the UK’s major titles, contributed to The Sunday Times, and was awarded Consumer Journalist of the Year by the Guild of Motoring Writers in 1998. He switched to the classic cars market in 2002, editing several titles including some 30 bookazine spin-offs and writing The Complete Book of the Car. He has been editor of Classic Motoring and Classic Cars For Sale for almost 20 years and lives in Essex.
