Prince of Speed tribute and book

The divisive legend that was Phil Read, seven-time motorcycle Grand Prix world champion, and the British rider with the most GP podiums, has died, aged 83.

You may have already read our tribute on the preceding pages, but there’s more to come, in a specially produced picture book, which will collate something like 40 images of the Prince of Speed, with pictures taken from the Mortons archive.

It’ll cost £9.99 and is available for pre-order by visiting www. mortonsbooks.co.uk or calling 01507 529529.
