Bunty by Halwart Schrader

The fascinating biography of David Scott-Moncrieff, alias `Bunty' - a colourful larger-than-life personality, enthusiastic car expert, charming entertainer, and passionate vintage car addict. Bunty's favourite marque was Rolls-Royce, and, for some time, he claimed to be the Number 1 in the Rolls-Royce second-hand car trade worldwide. Bunty also owned world-famous race cars, heaps of worn-out hearses (to be rebuilt), supercharged Mercedes classics, and even an antique Steamer. Here, you will meet them all, along with some of his many admirers who had the courage and pleasure to enter the passenger seat. Halwart Schrader travelled to England to meet Bunty on many occasions, knew him well. and has written this long-awaited biography in full co-operation with Bunty's son, Humphrey Scott-Moncrieff.

Bunty Reviews

A good read. Auto Express -- As a portrayal of a way of life which won't come again, this book is recommended. NZRR&BC Magazine -- An endearing - and enduring - read for long-standing members of the vintage car club scene. Classic Car Weekly -- If you want to immerse yourself in the type of eccentric motoring (and occasionally boating) life that we won't see again, this 216-page soft-cover should do the trick. Classic Driverits -- plenty entertaining! SpeedReaders---It is an hilarious romp from start to finish and guaranteed to chase off any lingering blues ... Bunty had triumphed again---Big End/All Torque
