Through 50 years of Lotus Cars, "The Lotus Book Collectables is the most comprehensive history of Lotus memorabilia ever put together. So many ground-breaking victories on the world's Grand Prix and Indy circuits, so many genuinely historic drives from some of the greatest names in Formula One, and of course a truly enviable run of successful road cars which continues unabated well into the company's sixth decade--it is perhaps hardly surprising that the business founded by Colin Chapman in a lock-up back in the late 1940s should have developed into one of the marques most revered by motoring enthusiasts around the world. Nor, as this second book by Lotus authority and enthusiast William Taylor makes abundantly clear, is that burning passion for the marque restricted to the cars themselves.
