Sarel van der Merwe is a certified, card-carrying racing legend the Clint Eastwood of South African motor sport. Since he and his moustache have been racing, Sarel has been super-competitive, scratching paint off race cars from Kyalami to Daytona. In this book, he reveals the skinny behind all his big rivalries, his run-ins with team owners, racing in the United States when South African sportsmen were not all that welcome and his colorful disagreements with motor-sport authorities. And, of course, there have been the women. 'Sex is like motor sport,' Sarel says. Though you'll have to read the book to find out why. The word 'maverick' probably bests describes Sarel van der Merwe. Not only is he the most gifted driver ever to come out of this country, winning off-road and on the track, but he's been utterly uncompromising in his approach. And he's certainly turned some people off. It is a rip-roaring read, from the iconic cars he has driven to the many women who have spiced up his life. Best of all, Sarel doesn't care about spilling the beans. He also focuses on racing in the United States, including the Daytona and other hugely popular races, and the colorful characters in motor racing that achieved iconic status in America.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
