"Described by author, Pablo Raybould as a work of passion, without any hope of recouping expenses, WILLPOWER is the story of rally driver, Will Sparrow who like a lot of us took up rallying in the Sixties. However, unlike most of us Will turned his hobby into a business, and drove, for among others, Dealer Team Vauxhall, Opel, and Chrysler. This book leaves no stone unturned and runs to over four hundred pages of incredibly detailed text, accompanied by copious images. Will Sparrow 1945-2023 was the sort of person we all aspired to be. Well done Pablo. incredible value at £50 and only available in limited numbers."

Will was a fantastically talented engineer and Mini specialist.

He was also a great driver and I am privileged to have been able to call him a good friend and fellow competitor. With his long-time navigator Nigel Raeburn they were a crew to be reckoned with from around 1968 and I recall how hard it was to beat them back in those days.

The engineering of Will's Minis was excellent and probably better than the 'works' cars.
