Tony Maggs – South Africa’s Forgotten Grand Prix Ace by Greg Mills

Tony Maggs: South Africa’s Forgotten Grand Prix Ace by Greg Mills is a richly detailed and visually engaging tribute to one of South Africa’s most important yet underappreciated motorsport figures. Tony Maggs emerged during the golden era of Formula One in the early 1960s, competing at the highest level and achieving notable finishes against some of the greatest drivers of his time. This volume captures both his racing achievements and the broader context of international motorsport during a transformative period in the sport’s history.

Published by Ecurie Zoo in 2009, Tony Maggs: South Africa’s Forgotten Grand Prix Ace is enhanced by contributions from respected authors and a foreword by Dan Gurney, adding depth and credibility. It includes a wealth of archival photographs, race insights, and personal reflections, making it a valuable resource for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This particular copy stands out due to a handwritten inscription signed “Rob” on the title page, accompanied by a typed letter also signed “Rob.” While it cannot be definitively confirmed as Robert Young, a contributor to the book, the inclusion adds an element of intrigue and potential provenance. A highly collectible title for South African motoring and Formula One enthusiasts.
