Omschrijving:

There are two biographies side by side in this well written and lavishly illustrated book. The first is one of the greatest natural drivers to have ever raced and there are no prizes for guessing that the car in the title is the Lotus 25 that took the popular and versatile Scot to his first World Championship. It is more specifically chassis R4 and Clark drove it to win 7 of the 10 races that made up the 1963 season. The Clark story has been told many times and always makes for interesting reading, but the car had a very eventful life too. After factory duties it ended up in New Zealand and the Climax engine replaced first with a Daimler V8 and then a Ford 4 cylinder. It was rescued from a Customs auction and has now been lovingly restored. We're not telling you any more, you'll have to buy the book! It's well worth it.
