Softcover book in excellent as-new condition. 8in x 10in pp.160. £15
	2219. LE MANS WINNERS POSTER. Rather on the lines of the 'Goodyear victories' posters this one, produced by the ACO, Auto Hebdo and the Ville du Mans for the 2000 race shows all 67 winners to that date - which means there's not a single Audi on it! Quarter folded from original publication (with the programme, I think) and in very good, clean condition it will frame beautifully. 17.5in x 23in. £25
	2210. CHROME DREAMS. AUTOMOBILE STYLING SINCE 1893. A study of the aesthetics of car design rather than the technicalities, this is an interesting history of the development of the motor car.

IMAGE COMING SOON	2195. TIME AND TWO SEATS. FIVE DECADES OF LONG DISTANCE SPORTS CAR RACING. Janos Wimpffen 1999. The World Sports Car, Grand Touring and Manufacturer's Championships. . One of those books which really needs no introduction; a classic work of epic proportions which will be known to most collectors. This covers pretty much every aspect and every race of sports car racing not just in the UK and US but worldwide from 1953 to 1998. Every race is described in detail, and with a full results table. Most are illustrated with period photos and an attention to detail which is mind-boggling. Pretty much the ultimate reference book for sports car racing, it's well- laid out and easy to navigate despite its scope. If you need to look up (for example) how Pedro Lano and Ernesto Tonquist fared in the 1954 Buenos Aires 1000km it's here- their Ferrari 225E suffered brake failure on lap 9:-) A huge labour of love by author Wimpffen, the historian for the Bruce McCaw collection and the Motorsport research Group, this runs to two volumes, over two thousand pages and 8.5kg (18lb) Two volumes in twin slipcase with silver lettered bookcloth all in very good condition. 9.5in x 12.5in x 5in pp.2256 £850

There is also a reference in the letter to John Corbyn "as another constructor has already supplied a number of chassis.. named Jedi" excellent condition.

Started as a rival to the venerable Autocourse, these motor sport annuals cover major international motor sport: Formula One, Rallying, Le Mans, American racing etc. etc. It didn't last long - a shame as they are fine annuals with a wealth of writing and photographic talent (Nigel Roebuck, Mike Doodson, Jeff Bloxham, Keith Sutton, Randy Leffingwell etc. etc.). 2186a Automobile Sport 81-82- . The first year of publication. Hardback with dustwrapper in excellent condition. 8.5in x12in. pp.208. £10
	2177 THE POST WAR TOURING CAR. Graham Robson. The cover image gives a clue to the approach taken here. this is not an exhaustive history of all makes and models but highly selective, "leading you through the Alvises, Aston Martins, Singers, Facel Vegas, Lanchesters, Ferraris and Maseratis.. Citroens, Studebakers, Alfa Romeos and Lotus Cortinas...." Published by Haynes but with the imprint of Thoroughbred & Classic Cars magazine. Illustrated.

Excellent book covering some 32 different manufacturers from Abarth to Tojeiro with a chapter/history of each and the principal prototype/GT competition cars they made.

Also the (in)famous incident at Barcelona where the team personnel worked on the circuit guardrails themselves is here. An article by Jackie Stewart on the retirement of Graham Hill is prefaced by a hastily added page recording his death in an air accident on November 29th and paying further tribute to "our sport's finest ambassador.. a universally loved personality and a fine British Sportsman" Hardback in good, clean, tight condition (one corner board slightly rubbed) in similarly good dustwrapper in plastic protective sleeve. 9.5in x 13in. pp208 £100
