The Grand Tour -
by Chris Bucknall
As a regular participant for 20 years, Chris Bucknall describes the five-day treasure hunt and gastronomic feast that covers 1,200 miles from London's Chelsea Hospital to Monte Carlo every summer.

The author describes the production of the Bentley Drivers Club 'Golden Jubilee Book' in 1969, and its journey around the world.
