"Blue and Orange" is just out.

The official book launch took place last Thursday in Cheltenham. With special permission from the council we had the 40 and 917 parked parked outside Ottakars bookshop in the main shopping precinct which had a fine entrance and Gulf window display. Had thousands of shoppers intrigued and interested during the day but it was the evening launch proper that was best with past and present Gulf staff,Polygon Promotion, drivers, and of course Michael Cotton,the author, to sign the books. I was given my signed (Ickx-Bell-Cotton) special edition and i can tell you that it a superb piece of motoring journalism full of previously unseen pictures and stories. BBC radio were there and hopefully their microphone listening to the roar of the V8 as well as the interviews came over the airways well.
Buy the book for Christmas. It is a cracker!!!!!!!!

Regards,

Graham @ GTA.
