Twice Lucky

Here is the autobiography - fascinating, funny, sometimes controversial - of Stuart Turner, one of the leading motorsport figures of the past 50 years. In a career that spanned an exciting period in the automotive business, he reckons to have had two major pieces of luck. He joined British Motor Corporation as Competitions Manager when the Mini Cooper was coming on song, then, some years later, moved to Ford as the Escort was starting to shine. In this book, one of motorsport's most engaging and enthusiastic characters writes frankly, revealingly and above all modestly about guiding BMC and Ford to rally glory. "An extraordinary autobiography which recalls all the highs and lows of a life spent in motorsport ... by a man whose successes are too numerous to mention, and whose infectious sense of enjoyment remains unparalled" - Autosport.
