COMING SUMMER 2026

John Woolfe - The Man Who Bought a Porsche 917

The story of John Woolfe's remarkable life, and untimely death at Le Mans in 1969. A force in both circuit and drag racing, Woolfe was able to acquire one of the very first Porsche 917s, a car even the Stuttgart firm's works drivers were wary of. Written by multiple award winning author, Ian Wagstaff, and Woolfe's business partner, Dave Riswick, the book draws heavily on the John Woolfe Racing (JWR) company's archive. Following the death of its founder, the JWR name became well known in the US car and drag racing scene in the UK, remaining active until this day. The Foreword is provided by Richard Attwood, who knew Woolfe and won at Le Mans driving a 917 in 1970.

We have returned to Scotland after an unforgettable few days at Race Retro with the family of Alan Stacey, launching our new book about the Lotus driver. A big thanks to Alan McGregor Stacey for his help with the stand, and to all those who visited over the weekend. It was great to catch up with our dear friend, Bob Evans, who of course was the subject of BHP's very first book.

The Alan Stacey book is now in stock on our website. Thanks again for all your support.
