Philip Young was so determined not to be a spectator standing on the sidelines of the 1977 London to Sydney Marathon that he built a Magenta kit-car for £1000, and entered the rally with the smallest and cheapest international rally car in the line-up. He took part in six Himalayan rallies, in everything from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Morris Minor and a works Skoda, to an ex-works Healey and Triumph TR8. Philip is credited with having kick-started the historic rally movement with events such as the Pirelli Classic Marathon, the Monte Carlo Challenge, Around the World in 80 Days, Classic Safari, and, in 1997, the 90th anniversary of the Peking to Paris. Philip has seen where entrants go wrong, and how bush mechanics make roadside repairs to get a car going again. Having entered rallies himself with no money, he has been a keen advocate of “a stitch in time saves nine," and believes that good preparation, even if with items from the garden shed, can help many a tortoise overtake a less well-prepared hare. Philip founded the Endurance Rally Association, based near Oxford, England.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
