NEW! £22 plus P&P "TO FINISH IS TO WIN"
"To Finish is to Win" recounts the epic Beijing to Paris journey in 2007 by two Australians, Harry and Cathy Hickling, in their 1938 MG SA . The MG, named Christie, would seem more at home at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance than on the inhospitable desert tracks of the Altay Mountains. Yet Christie was reborn from a burnt-out wreck into a rally car with the magnificent lines of the Swiss-bodied Keller MGs. Harry and Cathy had to withstand the gruelling conditions of the Gobi Desert, driving for two days with a broken chassis and faced the prospect of trucking their car back to Ulaan Bataar with a blown head gasket, whilst in the remotest area of Mongolia. Together they forged on to drive 13,500 kilometres across the world's harshest terrain to arrive safely in Paris. Christie is the first pre-war MG to ever undertake such a journey. Along the route the Hicklings saw mystical and ancient Buddhist Monasteries and the Ancient City of Karakorum. Faced with sand storms and river crossings, this story of endurance provides a remarkable insight not only into their journey but also the journey of those original intrepid motorists of 1907. The book also contains a section about the SA and on the Keller MGs with original photos.
