Top-Gear Skin is a cult 1970s pulp novel by “Richard Allen”, the pen name James Moffat used for New English Library’s skinhead-era series. It is one of the later skinhead titles, and the cover introduces its hero, Roy Baird, as “the new type of skinhead”, not Joe Hawkins of the earlier books. NEL published it in 1973, and it is an adult pulp novel with the violence, sex and strong language typical of the series. The cover photograph shows two long-haired young men in denim, one smoking. It is sought after by collectors of British pulp and 1970s youth-culture fiction. This is a well-read copy with wear to the cover and spine, and a price is written in ink on the front cover.
