Meeting extraordinary people

The book that I am writing about AC ‘Bluebird’ has taken me on some amazing journeys and I’ve been lucky enough to meet some extraordinary people.

It was a pleasure to recently meet with Robin Tojeiro, son of the brilliant racing ace John Tojeiro. Robin brought one of his father’s old cars into a film studio for a special programme being made about AC cars. It was incredible to see one of the cars that John Tojeiro raced and to talk to Robin about his Dad’s exploits.

The John Tojeiro race car was very successful, and, of course the forerunner of the AC Ace. And subsequently, the AC Aceca. As Robin told me, “Dad was a great racing driver but never quite achieved the accolades that others of his era did. He just loved racing.”
