John Fitch Enthusiast 2 Book Set

A scrapbook assembled by Art Evans, with remembrances by John Fitch and friends. Not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject it is instead mostly about John Fitch and 3 events: 1956 Sebring, 1957 Sebring and 1960 Le Mans. A wonderful collection of material from well-know auto racing historian Evans.
