Originally published in 1974, just six years after Clark's death this gives a great insight into the driver who many felt to be the greatest of them all. Great photographs and anecdotes from those who knew him well. This second edition is identical but for the addition of a new appendix by Peter Jowitt, who conducted the investigation into the fatal crash at Hockenheim. Hardback with dustwrapper in excellent condition 6in x9in pp. 144 £25 | |

2161. COLIN CHAPMAN'S LOTUS Robin Read. Subtitled "The Early Years, the Elite and the Origins of the Elan" it actually covers way more than that. The elevens, elevens, formula junior and 'sixties grand prix cars are all covered together with a wealth of information and rare photographs of the factories and people involved. Signed on the title page by Robin Read, Hazel Chapman, "young Mike"(Costin) and a host of others which I can't read(!). The occasion was the book's launch on 29 June 1989 and the dedication is to "Frank". This, plus another "to the aerodynamicist!" suggest Frank Dernie, Lotus' chief designer at that time. Autographs aside, this is an amazingly detailed book: easily the most detailed Lotus volume I've seen. Hardback with dustwrapper in very good condition. 8in x11in pp.335. £80 | |

2158. LOTUS - A VERY SPECIAL YEAR. The Story of a World Championship. Rare book produced to celebrate their 1972 World Championships; both for Emerson Fittipaldi as Driver and Lotus as constructor. (It's noticeable how much the cover blurb and image play up the "John Player Special" branding with rather fewer mentions of Lotus - not that Colin Chapman probably minded much). Written by Mike Doodson, Peter WarrAndrew Marriott and someone called Eoin Young... Articles on the cars and profiles of Fittipaldi and Chapman, plus a race by race account of the season. - and lots and lots of photographs. Softcover item in good condition (some slight water marking to some pages). 11.5in x 8in. pp.112 £20 | |

To assemble a set of reports like this would take literally decades, which is why the 'Brooklands' books are such a valuable resource.
