Umm. LJK Setright was personally the most flamboyant of English automotive
writers, and substantively the most colorful. But most accurate, and most
objective. Not even close.
I once asked Phil Llewelin and Karl Ludvigsen separately what they thought of
him, since I had just finished Setright's <<Drive on: Social History of the
Motor Car>> which I had enjoyed. Both in different words said basically that he
was excellent to read for entertainment, but never, ever quote him because he
was wrong as much as he was right, shifting facts to support his (often very
biased) opinions.
Fortunately, Graham Robson and Mike Cook got in this year, and there are some
good choices for future years' selections.

Hi guys,
Saw this over the weekend. Judging by the voting so far, Healey enthusiasts are
unaware.
I suggest we all cast our 10 votes.

I am with you on that Patrick. LJKS opened my eyes to so much when I read his
analysis of F1 when I was in high school, and his history of Bristol cars is
one of the best out there. (Denis Jenkinson is not too far behind mind you!)
