Book Review - The Pom

The Pom By Peter McFadyen Publisher: www.petermcfadyen.co.uk Price: £39.95 (Soft-back standard edition) £59.95 (hardback premium edition) Description: Soft-back and hardback editions, 123 pages, illustrated in colour and black & white. The Pom, or it give it the full title, the Pomeroy Trophy, is a unique event in British motorsport. Organised by the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC), the first event ran at Silverstone in 1952. It was an event to settle the age old argument, which is the best Grand Tourer of all time. A series of driving tests were devised, along with a handicap formula, to allow any closed wheel car to compete. It is the only event run by the VSCC which allows modern cars to take part. Respected photographer and journalist Peter McFadyen has produced the perfect coffee table book recording the recent history of the Pom from 2007. The Book covers each year from 2007 up to 2020, the last running before the Covid-19 pandemic stopped most motorsport. Illustrated with superb colour and black & White photographs showing the wide range of diverse vehicles which have competed over the years. Results for each year show winners that range from a 1928 Frazer Nash Super Sports right through to a 2000 Subaru Impreza. Also all class award winners are listed. The book provides a pictorial history of the last fourteen years of this historic event. The quality and size of the images make it the perfect way to relive these events, and is highly recommended.
