1849. V16 - THE STORY OF THE B.R.M. ENGINE. A.F. Rivers Fletcher. 1954. This famous and beautiful book was produced in the early 'fifties to tell the story of the astonishingly complex V16 engine. As well as the authoritative text on the history of the BRM project and the V16 car, there are photographs from competition, graphs etc. and some wonderful multi-colour overlay drawings, printed on clear acetate pages so you can see the engine stripped down and reassembled stage by stage. This copy is made extra-special by being signed on the flyleaf by Tony Rudd, engineer for BRM for nearly twenty years before moving to Lotus. Hardback without dustwrapper in good condition. 10in x 7.5in approx. £125 |

The sale finished with the Fangio V16 Chassis. This copy is accompanied by a 1998 letter from David Owen, chairman of Rubery Owen Ltd. 1/01. 9.5in x 7.5in pp.66 £40 |
