Motorcycle racer, car designer and a legendary figure in New Zealand motorsport, George Begg died in 2007. He competed in Europe on two wheels in the mid-1950s but returned home following a fatal accident involving friend and travelling companion Bob Cook. In the early 60s, Begg switched to cars, entering a BSA-powered single-seater in hillclimb events, this toe-in-the-water exercise leading to a Chevy V8-engined sports-racer and a series of F5000\/Tasman cars. He was also employed by Bruce McLaren as an engineer\/mechanic. Begg returned to his first love of motorcycles in 1976. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50643906855159,"sku":null,"price":104.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_6589_819857a0-86a0-4db7-8b87-3fbdbb8f5790.jpg?v=1774642399","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-classic-world-when-the-engine-roars-by-george-begg","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
