Gentleman, entrepreneur, and excellent racing driver, this is the fascinating story of John ‘Jack' Sears, or Gentleman Jack as he was popularly known. As Sir John states in the foreword “Jack was the gentleman that I should have been. He had the grace, while I only had the title. I often told him that he should have had it rather than I, but he wasn't buying. Although he started racing several years before I did, our careers took a parallel path for much of the way, and this gave me the privilege of getting to know him really well. That he was an outstanding driver is obvious, and you will have had this reaffirmed by the time you have read this book.” This incredibly detailed biography not only tells of Jack's amazing motoring career from his perspective, but of the whole Sears dynasty. The businesses, the friends, the highs and the lows. Packed with facts straight from the man himself and illustrated with over 150 unique photos, this is a must-have piece of motoring history.
