Another great book in this series. Highly recommended.
I have several of the other books in this series, and this is up there with the best of them. Meticulously researched with lots of great images, this follows the life of the two-time Le Mans winning GT40. It does not cover much of the early story of the lengthy and confused development of the Ford GT40, for this try "Go like hell" by A J Baime, but it goes into detail of the successful subsequent development by John Wyer's JW Engineering. Highly recommended.

A 'Must Have' for Fort GT fans
One of those rare 'picture books' where the writing is as good as the photos. I like the concept of making it the biography of a particular car and what better subject than a two time Le Mans winner. The capsule bios of the drivers of the car was a nice touch as well. I'll be looking to get more of these.

Must have book for anyone interested in the GT-40.
Great book. I own almost all the books on the GT-40 and find this one of the best. Well written and complete. There are some new photos that I haven't seen before.

Loved this book
Loved this book. I thought I had seen all there Eastbourne Ford GT40, but this book was one of the best FATHER'S DAY gifts I have received. Really liked the stories about 1075 and the drivers that raced it.

Un livre utile ... aux passionnés de cette auto
Son histoire est relatée chronologiquement sur ses 2 années "de service" 1968 et 1969, pendant lesquelles les courses d'endurances se sont enchaînées les unes derrière les autres. Toute cette période racontée dans le détail des équipages et de la technique, est illustrée avec un excellent choix de photographies. Les chapitres suivants sont consacrés aux pilotes et à la "survivante" conservée avec les égards qui lui sont dûs. Bref j'adore l'auto et sa biographie est magnifique. Thank You Ray Hutton and congrats for the job!

Superb detailed history of this particular GT40
Another top notch book from Porter Press International. A little pricey some think but for the enthusiast it's a must. Not seen any better produced motoring books.
