Colin Chapman: The Man and His Cars - The Authorized Biography

by Gerard Crombac (Author)

Synopsis

From small beginnings in North London in 1947, Colin Chapman went on to build the world-famous, multi-million pound Lotus car company. He also established himself, in Jackie Stewart's words, as 'the greatest, most creative designer of racing cars in the history of motor racing'. Written with the full co-operation of his widow and the Lotus company, and reissued to meet continuing public interest, this is the definitive biography of the brilliant engineer described by Enzo Ferrari as 'so talented because of his ability to produce ideas ahead of his time'.
