The author's grandfathers were both employed by the pre-war motor
industry. His singer father, John Hanson, would test John's knowledge of
car makes on the long journeys between theatres. He has seen UK car
numbers increase tenfold in his lifetime and this is a personal account
of his love of classic cars before their success leads to their
demise.
The motor car took him around Australia; ending up in Darwin 12 months
after cyclone Tracy. He explored the wilderness, whilst as a lawyer he
represented the Crocodile Dundees of the Northern Territory.
He has bought over 70 cars, enjoying their beauty, the aural pleasure of
the exhaust note and addictive pleasures of oil and petrol.
