About the Author
Born in Sri Lanka, Chris Pereira developed a passionate interest in motor cycle racing while still a young schoolboy. On emigrating to England in the early 1950s, he went to work for racing dealer Arthur Taylor of Shipston-on-Stour. This provided the opportunity to attend race meetings in the `Fifties', and brought him into contact with many well know riders. He finally achieved his greatest ambition by riding in the Classic Manx GP in 1984, and was a regular competitor in Vintage and Classic racing events until 2002. He has written articles on racing history in several classic motorcycle magazines, and in 2018 has released a new book - Motorcycle Racing with the Continental Circus.
Reviews
author Chris Pereira is to be congratulated on his well researched choice of subject - now reprinted due to popular demand in the Veloce Classic Reprint Series - one of great historical importance that has, until now, been completely ignored, resulting in a permanent record of the fascinating - and amazingly competitive - machines they built against the odds. Highly recommended. - Jonathan Hill - freelance
