Mr Big Healey´ – The Official Biography of John Chatham
Anotace
The authorised biography of one of the best-liked 'bad boys' in British
motorsport, John Chatham – driver, racer, repairer, rebuilder, tuner,
trader and lover of Austin-Healeys. With 150 photographs, many previously unpublished, this is an important
and entertaining account of one of motorsport’s biggest characters.
This is the authorised biography of one of the best-liked
bad boys in British motorsport. John Chatham, driver, racer, repairer,
rebuilder, tuner, trader and lover of Austin-Healeys, was in the words
of Geoffrey Healey “uncontrollable” in his youth, and has only mildly
mellowed with age. Burly and genial but formidably competitive, and not
above bending the rules when he thought he could get away with it, to
many he is the archetypal club racer. John is so synonymous with
Austin-Healeys that the most famous racing Healey in the world, DD300,
is so well-known mainly because John campaigned it for decades, notching
up tens of thousands of racing miles. But his career embraces far more
than one car, and until this biography no-one had attempted to fill in
the gaps.
