That the car came together as a result of the work of a committee whose chief stylist, was an accountant, is almost beyond belief. The fact that one of Colin Chapman's design criteria was that the Elite be a road car capable of a class win at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race was remarkable. The fact there followed six consecutive class wins and several index of performance victories in the race, was incredible. This book contains the reminisces of virtually everyone involved in the design and early production of the Elite. Many of the personalities associated with the car throughout its production life, including racers and Elite dealers in both the UK and America were interviewed. Although several have since passed away, their recollections are here to read and enjoy. 'Lotus Elite, Racing Car for the Road' is not meant to be a 'nuts and bolts' treatment of the car but rather an explanation of what is so fascinating about this automobile above all others. If the story of the Lotus Elite was told as a novel, readers would believe it to be pure fantasy. Hopefully, this book will convince otherwise.Hardcover - 12' x 12' - 208 pages - 405 color photos

In addition, contemporary illustrations clarify some of the more unusual and innovative techniques used to overcome the engineering problems that they faced. An extensive appendix offers complete race results and specifications (1951-54).Lotus The Early Years tells the story of what might be called the amateur years of Lotus, before Colin Chapman and Mike Costin gave uptheir day jobs and worked for Lotus full time. Colin relied on enthusiasts for motor sport who were attracted to him partly because of his charm, but mainly because he was so obviously going places and made things happen very fast. This is their story, told by as many of them who are still around 50 years later, based very much or records kept by the Allen brothers, and the daily diary kept by the author at the time.That they should have created a car that beat the world leaders in the1500cc Class seemed astonishing at the time, but subsequent historyshowed that these humble beginnings were based on an ability and drive which took Colin to the top.- The true story of Lotus and how it all began by those who were there- Details the beginnings of Lotus during the fifties- Historic photographs taken from the personal archives of the author- Original engineering drawings/sketches shown here for the first time- Extensive appendix with complete race results and specifications (1951-54)About the AuthorPeter Ross, was a de Havilland Aircraft apprentice in the 1940's,and went on to a career in British European Airways. He knew Colin Chapman from the very start, helped build the Lotus IIIb and the Lotus Mk VIII prototype, and was Team Manager for Lotus at the 1955 Dundrod TT. From 1953 he was a spare time volunteer draughtsman to Colin up to 1959, when he was posted by BEA to Belgium. He was a regular camp follower at the early Grands Prix from 1958-62, usually to be found doing the lap scoring in the Lotus pit. After retiring from the airline in 1987, he spent 11 years manufacturing some 300 of his own design of recumbent pedal tricycle, the Trice, which he still uses for shopping and leisure rides.Hardcover - 11' x 11' - 208 pp - 252 b/w

• Ronnie Peterson: Formula 1 -super Swede  ^new
  

  PRICE: 64.95

  Nicknamed Super Swede, Ronnie Peterson rose from karts to F3 to become European F2 Champion in 1972, and came closest to winning the F1 World Championship in 1973 and 1978. By common consent the fastest driver in Formula 1 in that era, Ronnie Peterson was, paradoxically, a quiet, shy person and an all-round nice guy. Behind the wheel of a car though, he came alive, deferring to no one in his mission to be the quickest û not even his beautiful companion, Barbro. His fans loved him for it, and everyone admired him, from his F1 peers to team owners and mechanics, many of whom testify to this effect in the following chapters. For that reason, he remains an icon of speed, his prowess recalled whenever an ace from the past is required as a benchmark. As Johnny TipletÆs book reveals, Ronnie invariably strove to wring the ultimate performance out of anything he drove. And that, ironically, was probably what cost him the F1 World Championship. Not content with merely winning, he sought to annihilate the opposition and, in the process, subjected cars and tires to stresses greater than they had been designed to accept. If they didnÆt break, he usually won, but not often enough to gain the title.
