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":"porsche-356-ultimate-portfolio","title":"Porsche 356 Ultimate Portfolio","description":"This Ultimate Portfolio features a collection of 61 articles from leading automotive magazines, covering the 356, A, B, C, SC, SS, GS, 1500, 1600, 2L, Carrera, Super, 75, 90, Coupe, and Convertibles.

In many ways it could well have been coined for the Porsche 356 as it was from this small rear-engined coupé that today?s mighty empire has been built. Based on the ubiquitous Volkswagen Beetle floorpan, which was a Porsche design anyway, and powered by a mildly modified VW air-cooled four-cylinder horizontally opposed (?boxer?) engine, the 356 became something of a giant-killer on the racetracks of post-war Europe. By the early 50s it was invincible in its class. Success on the racetrack soon led to commercial success as entrepreneurs from all over Europe, England and North America wanted to take on the Porsche franchise. Owning a Porsche 356 was not an experience for those who worried about costs. They were expensive to buy when new and that has not changed. So desired are they today that genuine examples will be a financial challenge to most restorers.","brand":"Brooklands Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911916798023,"sku":"B03336","price":36.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/85c5086b-ef09-4f29-9845-be73069b4b44_25a59.jpg?v=1772256799"},{"product_id":"range-rover-2-door-official-owners-manual-handbook-1970-1980-no-606917","title":"Range Rover (2 Door) Official Owner'S Manual Handbook 1970-1980 (No. 606917)","description":"Driving controls and instruments, care and maintenance, \nand general data.","brand":"Brooklands Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911926267975,"sku":"B05189","price":33.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b05189.jpg?v=1772269534"},{"product_id":"range-rover-workshop-manual-1995-2001-my","title":"Range Rover Workshop Manual 1995-2001 My","description":"Covers all Range Rover models from 1995 to the end of the 2001 model year, including 4.0 \u0026amp; 4.6 V8 Petrol engines and BMW 2.5 Diesel Engines.

Things began to \nchange as the Fifties dawned, but it took the arrival of a new V8 engine \nin 1955 to boost sales significantly.\n\nThe Pontiac \nhigh performance era really got going in earnest following the arrival \nof Semon E. (Bunkie) Knudsen in 1956. At only 43 years of age and the \nyoungest general manager in GM, Knudsen instigated a development \nprogramme that saw the factory actively involved with racing, the advent \nof the Super Duty V8 and horsepower boosting options made available.\n\nA sportier \nimage that was designed to give Pontiac a broader appeal emerged in 1959 \nand this marked the beginning of the exciting Wide Track period, when \nthese lower and longer models consistently outperformed the competition. \nAs a result Pontiac moved up to third place in the US sales chart at the \nstart of the sixties, a spot it would retain throughout the decade.

While the other Japanese manufacturers developed well-mannered, well-rounded, water-cooled sport-touring bikes, Suzuki created a whole new style of motorcycle which blasted way beyond the super-sports boundaries. In March 1985 the era of the race-replica truly began, when the initial batch of GSX-R750 machines went on sale. The outrageously snappish two-stroke RG250 arrived in 1983 and set the stage for its extremist 750 sibling. Like the GSX-R that followed it, the RG was a racetrack-inspired roadbike which relied heavily upon racing technology. When Suzuki applied the same principles, low mass, high power, who needs luggage anyway, to its four-stroke equivalent, their engineering expertise led them away from the flavour-of-the-moment liquid-cooled engine. There's more than enough here about the first decade of the GSX-R750 for you to understand why it's still a world-beater today.

It retained some of the character of the Mk II and had ample performance courtesy of the 3.4 or 3.8-litre, six-cylinder XK engine. The 420 was developed directly from the S-type but resembled the Mk 10 at the front and rear. The special version of the 4.2-litre engine gave the model its name. The equivalent Daimler, the Sovereign, bridged the gap between the 2 1\/2-litre saloon and the big Majestic Major.
