Crook had a successful career as a racing driver outside of Formula 2 amassing nearly 400 win or place finishes between 1946 and 1955. [3] His career ended after an accident that season, but he had been planning to retire in 1955 anyway. [3] In his capacity as a motor dealer in Surrey Crook specialised in Bristols and became part owner of the Bristol company in 1960, before taking full ownership in 1973. [3] He retained the sole ownership of Bristol Cars until 1997 and part ownership until 2002 [3] but remained with the company until his retirement in 2007.
