Summary

The adventures (and misadventures!) of a 1970s and '80s car mechanic

Under the Bonnet Summary

Under the Bonnet: Confessions of a 1970s and '80s Car Mechanic by Brian Cunningham

These days, a nice original Vauxhall Viva costs an arm and a leg, but back in the 1970s, GBP100 bought you a 'good little runner', with the rust, bald tyres and dodgy MOT thrown in for free. All you needed was someone who knew how to fix it when it broke down!

Brian Cunningham is that someone - or, at least, he used to be. Under the Bonnet is the totally true* story of being a car mechanic in the old days, when fixing a car was one thing, but keeping it fixed was something else entirely. These are the tales of a bygone age, full of secret scams, chaotic characters and cars almost bursting with personality.

* some tales may be taller than others
