The Master Mechanic by Gordon Campbell. Published by Gordon Campbell 2016. Hardcover with Sleeve. Engelstalig. Pages 376. ISBN 9780473366407.

A book on the life of Bruce Wilson - The boy from Hunterville who became a Ferrari race mechanic. The small town of Hunterville was a centre of motor racing excellence in the 1960’s and 1970’s, visited by a veritable who’s-who of national and international motor racing personalities, thanks to one man – Bruce Wilson. From repairing old race cars in his rural garage business to a factory team and building Can-Am cars, Bruce was part of this special time. The Master Mechanic also relates to Bruce’s personal journey, driven by his obsessive expectations of excellence from himself and those around him. A must-read for every motor racing enthusiast and a valuable addition to the growing record of New Zealand’s ‘golden era’ of motor sports. The Master Mechanic is generously illustrated with many previously unseen photographs and those of several of our top past and present photographers.

Prachtig uitgegeven boek. Echt iets voor de liefhebber en verzamelaar.
