Jody Schechter, South Africa's only Formula One champion, received the following advice from Jackie Pretorius when he left for England in 1971: in order to impress the Europeans, he would have to learn some big words, and he gave him three to start: "Agriculture, Furniture and Marmalade - preferably to be used in conjunction with one another"! Mills covers the South Africans who made it as drivers, engineers, mechanics and promoters in international motorsport, from Woolf Barnato's three victories in the Le Mans 24 hour classic to the era of Sarel van der Merwe.
