Product description
Few people achieve success and notoriety in more than one field, but Tony Mason has done it! He joined a local car club before he even had a car, eventually going to the top with rally victories in his native Lake District, before joining the prestigious Ford works team and co-driving the largest Great Britain rally star Roger Clark to win the RAC Rally. He was subsequently signed on by the BBC to appear on their popular show Top Gear, which he was a presenter for 15 years. His cheerful presence became an integral part of the program and he went from rallying to driving all manner of vehicles – from vintage Rolls-Royces, Reliant Robins, tanks, fire engines and Eddie Stobart trucks. The light-hearted and jovial character of Tony Mason transfers from television to the pages of this autobiography, taking readers on a journey from his early life in the seaside town of Morecambe through nearly 100 countries, with thrills, falls, ups and downs all remembered vividly, often shown in photographs.
