Stewart Penfound wins prestigious award

T Register Specials Registrar, Stewart Penfound’s book, ‘Harry Lester, his cars and The Monkey Stable’ has been voted book of the year by The Society of Automotive Historians, and he was presented with the prestigious Michael Sedgwick Award at their recent AGM and Autumn Seminar.
The book has had superb reviews (from the BRDC bulletin – ‘a truly excellent book… as an insight into racing as it was in the decade after World War 2 it cannot be recommended too highly’) Harry Lester was an expert tuner of the XPAG engine, and his and The Monkey Stable’s exploits with T Types and Harry’s Lester MGs are a significant slice of MG history.
You can read what Stewart says about how he got into writing the book on the book’s website. It does seem to be a common story of how one thing led to another – but with great results in his case.
So, if you are still wondering what to get for Christmas, look no further. See www.lester-mg.co.uk for details.
Our congratulations go out to him!
