To MG enthusiasts the name Dick Jacobs will bring back memories of what many describe as the good old days of real motor racing. In this book Dick recalls how it all started from the first event which was an 'impromptu hill climb' with an MG TC in 1947. He remembers the first special, his involvement with the MG factory and the invaluable help he got from John Thornley; the scratch races, speed trials, hill climbs, long distance races, races held in Ireland, the Isle of Man, Goodwood, Le Mans etc., many of which belong to the past. Dick also recalls his brief and victorious involvement with a Frazer Nash: after his bad crash in the 1955 Le Mans he decided to give up active racing and turn his hand to managing a team. As a team manager he was involved in successfully racing MG cars from 1956 to 1964. It is not just the story of Dick Jacobs and MGs, it is the story of an era, with 82 black and white photos, and reference to the cars which he drove: MG Special CS 7695, MG TC LEL 735, MG Special SHK 7, YB production Saloon UHK 111, works MG Magnette JRX 251, MG Magnette 21 JPU, Twin Cam MG A’s 1 MTW and 2 MTW, MG Coupe XNO 1, MG Midget 770 BJB, MG Midget 771 BJB and the little MG 1100 JWC 111.
