Overview

COLOUR EDITION: Featuring both colour & monochrome PHOTOGRAPHS from times past... Fast cars. Famous faces. Fierce dangers. Not a Normal Life tears through decades of adventure with John Cotton in the driving seat. From the icy airfields of Cambridge to the roar of Le Mans, Cotton shares the thrills, triumphs and tragedies of a lifetime in motorsport - always modest, yet always at the centre of the action. Along the way he crosses paths with legends: Sir Stirling Moss, Jeffrey Archer, Marc Surer - and even a couple of Hollywood superstars. But this memoir isn't just about racing. It's about growing up in post-war Britain, the wonder and tragedy of Africa, surviving personal loss, seizing every chance of freedom, and witnessing history unfold - from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the heyday of classic cars and unpoliced roads. Above all, Not a Normal Life is a celebration of a world now vanished, and a tribute to the passion, resilience and good fortune that shaped one man's story. For readers of memoir, motorsport history and post-war Britain, this is an unforgettable account.
