When £2 would buy you a cyclecar

The updated reprint of Wheel Patter by the late Dudley Colley, with a new chapter by his son Tony, (ISBN 0 09544842 0 7, £29.99) exudes enthusiasm for cars of any kind, from a £2 GN and Frazer Nashes, up to those he drove in Irish speed events, trials and races. In my review in Motor Sport of the first edition, reproduced on the new dust jacket, I noted that I had enjoyed every minute of reading about Colley’s ‘bikes, and his racing in those ‘different’ Irish events, from midget car races to road races.
