Barry John
Barry John, like many boys in the 1950s, was familiar with the names of John Cobb and Malcolm Campbell and owned Dinky toy versions of their cars. His enduring fascination with record-breaking culminated in his first book, Quest for Speed (Evro, 2020), which he authored, illustrated, and designed. His experiences riding scooters in the 1960s ignited another lifelong interest, and he has now applied his professional skills — honed through studies at Harrow School of Art and a career as a graphic designer — to his passion for scooter culture. He resides in Kent.
