Very little has been written in English about Delage, the sultry, art deco French car that was a favorite of the rich and famous during the inter-war years. This book seeks to introduce car enthusiasts to this fabulous marque. It describes the beginnings of the company headed by Louis Delage and his team of engineers, and touches upon its early racing history when driver Robert Benoist won the trophies that made the car famous around the world. Subsequent chapters describe the styling and design of the stunning cars built during the golden age of European Continental travel when the Delage chassis was dressed by the best French coachbuilders of the time, including Letourneur &amp; Marchand, Henri Chapron, Marcel Pourtout and Figoni &amp; Falaschi. Examples of each are described and photographed, with images taken at the time of their construction and present day photographs of beautifully restored cars. Reproductions of sales catalogues from the 1930s are also incorporated and the book includes an appendix with 15 pages of technical information and tune up specifications.

Page Size 280 mm square Page Extent 216 pages Editions Standard Edition ISBN 1-85443-210-9 In 1998, the German car manufacturer BMW acquired the rights to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. that most British of institutions, whose name has been a byword of engineering excellence for one hundred years. In less than five years, BMW has re-launched the company as an independent entity, albeit with access to the resources of its new parent. A completely new Rolls-Royce - the Phantom, has been designed and produced, along with the building of a brand new manufacturing plant. This book describes how The Project Rolls-Royce team members were recruited from all over the world, how the new Phantom was developed, and how the purpose designed manufacturing plant on the Goodwood Estate near Chichester, Sussex is a triumph in its own right. It serves all the needs of production but was also constructed to minimise the impact upon the environment and the surrounding South Downs. These challenges, the personalities involved and how they succeeded are all enumerated. Finally, although it is only just over a year since the first production Phantom was delivered to its proud owner, an exciting experimental derivation - codenamed 100EX - has already been produced. The Goodwood Phantom is the first book to contain details of this outstanding car. Illustrations: 184 colour and 60 black and white photographs and illustrations.

The Goodwood Phantom: Dawn of a New Er

During a 10-year span beginning in May, 1952, American Phil Hill drove 88 races in sport racing Ferraris. In those events he had a remarkable 25 wins and 51 top-3 finishes on race courses as varied as the flat airport track in Palm Springs, California and Germany's hilly, twisting Nürburgring. In that decade, Hill won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring three times, but also went plummeting off a cliff on Sicily's tortuous Targa Florio circuit. His first Ferrari drive at Le Mans began in the face of the most tragic accident in the history of motorsport, while his last brought the final win for the automaker's famous Testa Rossas. In Ferrari, A Champion's View, Hill again drives many of the cars in which he competed during his long and honoured career with the great company from Modena. He describes the machines' technical features, and puts the reader in the cockpit, explaining what the cars were like to drive. Hill also takes the reader to both ends of Ferrari's sports racing history, from the pre-World War II Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 to the 333 SP of the late 1990s. And America's champion remembers the great drivers who did not survive in this deadly sport. Illustrations: 190 colour and 30 black and white photographs and illustrations. John Lamm has been an automotive writer and photographer for the past 35 years, 29 of them with Road &amp; Track magazine, where he is editor-at-large.

Ferrari, a Champion's View

Hill, Phil

Be it a road car or racing car, no automobile can match Ferrari for sheer iconic glamour and excitement. One man had unique access to the company, its people and its products during the years from 1950 to 1955 when Ferrari surged from a brash newcomer to a dominant force in Grand Prix and sports cars. Rodolfo Mailander here presents his intimate portraits of this stirring era with the help of his friend Karl Ludvigsen, whose world famous Library holds the Mailander archive. Enhancing appreciation of Rodolfo Mailanders insightful images is commentary by the photographer himself and by Ludvigsen, who has been a friend of Mailander for almost 50 years. Both men contribute introductions that set the scene for this story of the formative years of one of the greatest automotive marques. A treat for the Ferrari enthusiast is a tabulation of serial numbers of the cars illustrated, provided by renowned Ferrari expert Marcel Massini.
