When the Engine Roars
& A Classic World

This is the story of a man's lifelong fascination with the machinery of motor sport.

George Begg's love of motorcycles, racing cars and his admiration for the great engineers of the past shines through this memoir of more than 40 years.

From his early travels to Europe to pursue his dreams of racing at the Isle of Man, through his highly successful career building racing cars (including some of the only recorded experiences of Bruce McLaren's engineering operations), to his appreciation of classic race car restorations, George's self-published book is a must for motorsport fans.

Available direct from the author When the Engine Roars & A Classic World is two books in one, a great value package.

Part One details George Begg's life and career in racing, including some of the only writings of the early days of McLaren Cars in Great Britain where George worked. Part Two is a feast for engineering enthusiasts as it details some exceptional classic racing car and motorcycle restorations with an expert's eye for detail, a rare insight into the engineering involved, rather than just the paint and trim as is often the case with such accounts.
