Racing the Silver Arrows

July 7, 2014

Racing the Silver Arrows by Chris Nixon Transport Bookman, £39.95. ISBN: 0-85184-055-8

Considering the acclaim which greeted Nixon’s book on the Mercedes-Auto Union rivalry of 1934-39, and its rapid sell-out, it surprises that it has taken 11 years for a reissue to appear. But here it is, no doubt displeasing the book traders as first edition prices drop. Highly recommended; still one of the great motor racing books. GC

Deputy editor

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
