Book Review
AS SOON as you spot the subtitle, 'The fast and furious story of the fabulous Bentley Boys', you know that this is going to be much more colourful than a straight historical account.
Foulkes tells the story of this charismatic bunch of playboy motor racers at a jaunty pace, sprinkling it with entertaining anecdotes and revealing facts. He's managed to assemble a remarkable number of archive photographs showing the cars, the action, the lead players and even one or two of the girls that were part of their hectic lifestyle.
It makes you want to rush out and buy a pair of flying goggles. Pass the bubbly!
