Can anyone please point me in the direction of an authorative English language website or source for Jose Juncadella and his relationship with Escuderia Montjuich.

Many thanks.

Paul

There is an excellent soft cover book called " Aficion sin Limite - Escuderia Montjuich" by Enrique Coma-Cros and Pablo Gimeno (DL: B41633-1999) which will give you a lot of information on Juncadella as he was a leading light in the team that was founded by Paco Godia the former Maserati 250F driver. I have a copy and though it is in Spanish, a language I do not know, you can piece some of it together if you have a smattering of Italian.

Hi Graham and a Happy New Year to you!

Thanks for the info I will seek this book out. Meanwhile I have spent hours trawling the net but I'm currently 750 miles from my archive so I can't check my own material in the forseeable future. In any case Juncadella as an individual does not seem to have attracted much attention and I can't recall any articles about him in period in the British press.

Meanwhile I look forward to the Jack Sears book, when is it being published?

Paul, there is a webpage forum where many spanish-speaking motor-racing history fans could help you. Surely, the most of them speak english as well.

If you are interested, let me know by PM, ok?

Thank you for your concern about the Sears book. Rod Grainger at Veloce advises me it will be out in mid-February.

I knew I forgot something this morning.... I walked past the door of Veloce and had intended to go in and ask about the publication date!

Paul, the only thing that I've got and supposdely you know is that José María Juncadella was a founder-member of Escudería Montjuich and the guy who pour the money into.

Paul,

Daniel Juncadella (16-year-old son of Javier, who I believe is Jose's brother) is racing in Formula BMW Europe this season as a Red Bull Junior driver with EuroInternational. So that team is probably a good starting point if you want to track down the family. Website here:

Hi,

Look after this link about Librairie du Palmier.

You'll find a book about Escuderia Montjuich in spanish language.

With my best regards.

Effectively, Javier is José María's younger brother.
