A Chequered Life: Graham Warner and The Chequered Flag by Richard Heseltine tells the story of one of British motorsport’s most colourful independent figures.
The book covers Graham Warner and his London-based dealership and race team, The Chequered Flag, which became involved in single-seaters, sports cars, rallying and other major areas of motorsport. Specialist listings describe it as the story of Warner and his “plucky London-based dealership/race team”, with coverage of the Chequered Flag’s competition activities and wider motorsport history.
The book also touches on Warner’s later aviation interests, including the restoration of the Bristol Blenheim, making it more than a straightforward motor racing biography. With 160 pages and a strong selection of period black and white and colour photographs, it is a useful title for collectors interested in Lotus, British racing teams, privateer entrants, rallying and historic motorsport.
