Anthony Crook (16 February 1920 – 21 January 2014)[1] was a racing driver from England.[2] He was born in Manchester and educated at Clifton College, Bristol. He participated in 2 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 19 July 1952. He scored no championship points. He also participated in several non-Championship Formula One races.
Crook had a successful career as a racing driver outside of Formula One 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 2007, when he retired.
