From humble beginnings using converted \nAustin Seven based specials, Colin Chapman developed his own chassis and \nproduced his own sports car. Over the following eight years with a new \nLotus model each year, with each model distinctively different from its \npredecessor, Lotus rose from the ranks of a special builder to a race \nwinning constructor of sports racing cars which included countless race \nvictories at circuits throughout the world, plus success at world \nrenowned international races at Le Mans and Sebring. \n\nThe Lotus Mark III of 1951 set the \ntrend for Lotus lightweight sports racing cars, although the Austin \nSeven chassis formed the basis of the car with much Lotus modification, \nand an even more modified Austin engine. The Lotus Mark VI of 1952 saw \nthe beginning of the Chapman designed space frame chassis, and torsional \nstrength with riveted body panels. The use of modified standard \nproduction components saw the Lotus developed independent suspension by \ndivided Ford front axle which lasted throughout the first five models \nuntil 1957. Over three years of production Lotus sold some 110 Mark VI \ncars. The Lotus Mark VIII of 1954 was a radical aerodynamic design for \ninternational sports car racing, and featured a fully triangulated space \nframe chassis on the prototype which proved effective, but impractical. \nOnly six Mark VIIIs were built. The remaining cars used modified Mark VI \nchassis and Lotus gained some impressive race victories to establish \ntheir reputation in British motor racing. The Lotus Mark IX of 1955 saw \nthe move to Lotus designed standardisation of specialised parts, plus \nmodified aerodynamics on the body shape. About 25 Mark IX cars were \nsold, with a substantial number to the USA where Lotus's reputation was \ndeveloping. The Lotus Mark X, also of 1955, was a customer inspired move \ninto larger capacity sports racing cars which caused Lotus some problems \nand included detachable chassis tubes, disc brakes, etc. Only 6 cars \nwere produced. \n\nThe Lotus Eleven of 1956 was the \nmajor step forward which established Lotus as a winning sports racing \nconstructor. It also set the trend for Lotus models beginning with the \nletter E. The Lotus Eleven was an exercise in style and shape. Component \naccessibility was superb and the car was offered in a choice of three \noptions, and with a variety of body styles. The big innovation was the \nuse of rack and pinion steering and later, with the Series 2 of 1957, \nwishbone front suspension that was to be the mainstay of Lotus design \nfor the next three years and was used on five models. A total of 270 \nwere built in three years of production, and were sold all over the \nworld. The Lotus Fifteen of 1959 was a larger capacity sports racing car \naimed at international competition. When it worked, it worked very well \nand achieved some major international success for Lotus. However, it was \nhampered by the rear mounted Lotus ?queerbox? sequential gearbox on the \nearlier models. Twenty eight were produced and were driven at major \ninternational races to build on Lotus's reputation. \n\nThe Lotus Seventeen of 1959, was \nnot a success. Chapman was too busy on a multitude of developments, and \nthe innovative strut front suspension did not work adequately. A total \nof 20 cars were built. The Rear Engined Lotus Sports Racing Cars \n1960-1965 - Lotus were slow to move into the rear engined innovation of \nthe late 1950?s, but when they did with their rear engined Lotus 18 in \n1959, the supremacy was soon established. Stirling Moss in Rob Walker?s \nLotus 18 F1 scored the first Grand Prix victory in a Lotus at Monaco in \nMay 1960, and Innes Ireland won at Watkins Glen late in 1961 to score \nthe first Grand Prix victory for Team Lotus. ?In the meantime Lotus \nsports racers also became rear engined. The Lotus Nineteen of 1960 was \ndesigned to continue Lotus prestige in large capacity sports car racing, \nand although only 12 cars were built, they were very fast. Most success \nwas achieved in USA. The Lotus Twenty Three of 1962 was a return to \nsmall capacity sports racing cars on which Lotus had built their \nreputation in the mid-1950's. This was as successful as its \npredecessors, and won races all over the world. It is still winning in \nhistoric racing today. Some 131 cars were built with engines from \n1100cc-1800cc. The Lotus 30 was a great idea, and a superb looking car \nwhen it was introduced in 1964, but it failed to deliver the goods. The \nproblem was the lack of torsional stiffness in the uprated Elan type \nbackbone chassis which just could not cope with the V8 power. A total of \n33 cars were built. The Lotus 40 of 1965 was the last sports racing car \nto be built by Lotus. It was a dismal failure and only 3 were built. \n\nIt was a sad finale for Lotus to \nrelinquish their construction of sports racing cars in which they had \nmade such a name for themselves over the past 15 years.","brand":"Brooklands Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911912636487,"sku":"B02241","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9f80b3dc-6bf0-4c74-ac28-81c14b902e43_2cd89.jpg?v=1772274696"},{"product_id":"jaguar-mark-1-2-a-celebration-of-jaguars-classic-sporting-saloons-great-cars","title":"Jaguar Mark 1 \u0026 2: A Celebration Of Jaguar'S Classic Sporting Saloons (Great Cars)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA complete history of Jaguar’s Mark 1 \u0026amp; 2 saloons\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA fabulous selection of period colour photographs, press material and specially commissioned studio photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes the story of their motorsport successes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eContains fascinating anecdotes and curiosities\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA celebration of great British design\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWritten by leading Jaguar expert Nigel Thorley\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA deserving recipient of the title ‘Great Car’\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eJaguar Mark 1 \u0026amp; 2 – a bench-mark by which all other classic cars are judged\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes V8 Daimler models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESCRIPTION:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact\u003cstrong\u003e Jaguar saloons \u003c\/strong\u003eof the 1950s and 1960s were some of the most popular performance cars of their day and now are considered one of the most collectable of classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating, extensively illustrated book, \u003cstrong\u003eNigel Thorley\u003c\/strong\u003e describes the year by year history and development of the \u003cstrong\u003eJaguar Mark 1 and Mark 2 models\u003c\/strong\u003e.

In 1960, Chapman decided \nto start with a clean sheet of paper, assessing the basic requirements \nfor a contemporary Formula 1 car, and identifying how to achieve them in \nthe most straightforward, uncomplicated way. The result was one of \nChapman’s greatest creations – the Lotus 18 – a trendsetting, \nrear-engined car that was to set new performance standards from the \noutset. Driven by some of the top drivers of the era – including Innes \nIreland, Jim Clark, and John Surtees – it was Stirling Moss who made the \ncar’s name, winning four Grands Prix, including his sensational \nvictories over Ferrari, against all odds, at Monaco and the Nürburgring \nin 1961.

Explaining how the various models were drawn, planned, and developed by the small team of engineers, it also shows how the input and control changed from Morris, Wolseley, Riley Group, Austin-Morris, and Austin Rover. The effects of the Triumph-Austin merger are detailed in model changes, alongside the effects of safety legislation, mainly imposed by the United States.Trying to remain as individual as possible during this period, MG developed record breakers and a unique Competition Department. Special cars were built and tested, and prototypes for the MGB replacement were drawn up ? all in parallel with the development of MG production cars using engines from any part of the BMC company.The continuing support of the American market was essential and much valued, but the company?s market support prioritised the TR7 ? a decision that, ultimately, led to the closure of a successful, happy company.","brand":"Veloce Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911972438087,"sku":"B04232","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781845844608.jpg?v=1772273522"},{"product_id":"jaguar-xk140-150-in-detail","title":"Jaguar Xk140\/150 In Detail","description":"\u003cp\u003eJaguar's series of \u003cstrong\u003eXK sports cars\u003c\/strong\u003e used the remarkable \u003cstrong\u003etwin overhead camshaft engine\u003c\/strong\u003e that was first exposed to the public in 1948 in the new \u003cstrong\u003eXK120 two-seater\u003c\/strong\u003e, which took the motoring world by storm.

Based \non previously unpublished internal memos and documents, and the \nrecollections of the prime movers, the book describes the ups and downs, \nand the politics of big time competition in an exciting era. An excellent \nand entertaining read and an important factual documentation, no motor \nsport enthusiast should be without this book. \n\nIndependent Reviews\n\nFrom Australian Classic Car, July 2006\n\nThe book is laden with hundreds of contemporary photos but reading the \ninter-departmental memos and letters are even more revealing, especially \nthe minutes of Departmental meetings. The lists of instructions to teams \ncompeting in the rallies of the day, even detailing their accommodation, \nare also intriguing.\nThis book will fascinate anyone interested in the halcyon days of the \nBMC Competitions Department.\n-\n\nREVIEW from BRITISH CAR MECHANIC, July 2006\n\n'BMC Competitions Department Secrets' is a very descriptive title of a \nbook written by the three men who knew what was involved to obtain the \nmemorable successes that such a small department at Abingdon achieved in \nMotorsport, even beyond Europe. Philip Young well deserves the credit for \npulling together the very interesting documentary evidence that makes this \nbook such a compulsive read. The three managers describe their \ninvolvement, satisfaction and frustrations in less than one third of the \nbook whilst the remainder comprises letters, internal memoranda and \nparticularly interesting and previously unseen photographs.\n\nStuart writes an excellent resume' of his period, the 'Middle Years' as \nhe calls them, from 1961 to 1967. He recounts how he drafted the agenda \nfor the annual Competitions Committee meetings and then had discussions \nwith fellow members John Cooper, Donald Healey and John Thornley to ensure \nthey were on his side when facing Chairman George Harriman and Alec \nIssigonis. He then wrote up the minutes over John Thornley's name and was \nleft to get on with the decisions. His development of comprehensive pace \nnotes is probably one of the most important actions taken during his \nperiod, alongside getting Board level agreement to use Scandinavian \ndrivers brought up amongst roads covered in snow and ice for long periods. \nUnlike an engineering mind Stuart claims \"Pace notes are like sheds in \nthat they should be cleared out every so often, otherwise they become \nunnecessarily complicated\".\n-\n\nFrom Motorsport, December 2005\n\nThis is a fun read, detailing the underbelly of BMC's competition \ndepartment. Written by a triumvirate of former managers, it gives an \ninsight into how they functioned within - and despite - BMC and Leyland. \nIncluding many never seen before documents, it paints a refreshingly \nhonest picture. It's especially interesting to learn how much the drivers \nwere paid and the terms of their contracts: some of them really couldn't \nnegotiate.\n\nThe images are wonderful, too. We particularly liked the one of Nancy \nMitchell door-handling an MG Magnette saloon. Entered in the 1956 Tulip \nRally, her event was over before it started after a scrutineer ran a \nmagnet over the, ahem, standard car and discovered the body panels were \nmade of aluminum. Excellent stuff.\n-\n\nReview from Classic Car Mart, January 2006\n\nFor fans of the various individual BMC marques and followers of the \nCorporation?s political ups and downs over the years, this latest volume \nfrom Veloce is an absolute must. Within its 192 pages can be found some of \nthe best stories, some of the most fascinating facts and some of the most \nintriguing images we have seen in recent times. And that?s no exaggeration.\n\nThis is the inside story of a legendary works Competition Department \ntold by the three competition managers of the highly successful \nBMC\/British Leyland race and rally teams, based at Abingdon. The book \nreveals the inner workings of one of the most successful motor sport teams \nBritain has ever seen, and makes full use of previously unpublished \ninternal factory memos, photographs, documents and the recollections of \nthe prime movers of the time. It describes the ups and downs, highs and \nlows, and the politics of big-time competition.\n\nChambers, Turner and Browning each took their turn as managers of the \nBMC\/British Leyland Competition Department between 1955 and 1970, and \nbetween them accumulated a vast collection of archives and memories. And \nthey can all be found here.\n\nAt almost £25, this book isn?t cheap. But never before has such a \ncomplete and fascinating version of the BMC Competitions Department story \nbeen told. It?s a story of human endeavour, engineering ingenuity and \npolitical upheaval. And we can?t recommend it too highly.\n-\n\nFrom Mini Cooper Register, December 2005\n\nThis book retells many of the familiar stories, but where it differs \nfrom previous books on the Department is that the original documents of \nthe period are reprinted in full.\n\nFor the serious student of all things Classic Mini this will be a \nvaluable addition to your sources of information. The Department's three \nCompetitions Managers, Marcus Chambers, Stuart Turner and Peter Browning \ntell it like it was; fascinating stuff!\n-\n\nReview by Basil Wales\n\nThe book is a mine of new information and a ?must? for every BMC \nenthusiast?s Christmas list. A few owners of cars bearing ex-works \nregistration numbers were known to be concerned that too much technical \ndetail of necessary marketing and ?carnet? changes might come to light in \nthis ?book of revelations? but I think they can rest their consciences for \na while longer. As more claims are made over allegedly ?original? cars, \nthe few who really know are concerned to see that subtle changes keep \nbeing made between presentations in a vain attempt to try to authenticate \na hybrid that has metamorphosed from a genuine sump-guard, chassis plate \nor similar scrap part ! The enthusiasm for this Classic era of British \nMotorsport will only be increased by this unique publication.\n\nBasil Wales knows the three authors well, having done a Liege-Rome-Liege \nRally with Marcus Chambers whilst still an apprentice in 1956, worked \nunder Stuart when appointed as Special Tuning Manager in 1964, and then \ncontinued alongside Peter Browning after Stuart left. When Comps was \nclosed Basil inherited a number of competition responsibilities until the \ndepartment was reformed as Leyland ST in 1973 when Basil left to join \nUnipart.\n-\n\nFrom MG Drivers Club\n\nThis is the revealing and surprising inside story of the legendary BMC \nWorks Competitions Department as told by three Competitions Managers of \nthe highly successful BMC\/BL race and rally teams based at Abingdon.\n\nTheir book reveals the inner workings and machination of one of the most \nsuccessful motorsports teams Britain has ever seen.
