DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Back in the 1950s and 1960s, cars such as the Jaguar XK 120, the ASA Cisitalia, Veritas, or Pegaso could be seen performing superbly on the racing circuits of Europe. The classic models of some 150 different makes are featured in this comprehensive reference work. This book takes you back to the racing circuits of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s when automobiles such as those of Gianni and Lamborghini ruled the road. The book also covers lesser-known makes such as the kit cars that Lotus sold for people to build themselves; there are sports cars for the road as well as for the race track. For instance, did you know that the Merak closely resembled the Bora but was powered by the same V-6 motor used in the SM Citroen? That is because the factory needed to use up its large stock of these engines. The book contains the fascinating stories of the manufacturers and designers of countless famous and lesser-known brands of both road-going and racing sports cars. With more than 750 color photographs, this is an essential reference work for automobile enthusiasts, especially classic sports car-lovers. Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →“... This is a book for which lovers of the automobile have waited a long time: the most comprehensive text-and-picture history of the dual-purpose car since it came to life more than sixty years ago. As the authors of The Book of Sports Cars point out, “in the beginning they were all sports cars.” The automobile began its active life, whatever the intentions of its creators, as a new instrument of sport. Because the increasing demands of this sport imposed an ever-growing burden of technical development, the sports car and its achievements have never stopped forwarding the improvement of the everyday automobile. Here at last, evolved from years of painstaking research, is a record of what the world’s motorists owe to the dreams and the daring of the men and women of motor sport. In arranging the history of the outstanding marques by countries of origin, the authors have made it plain how first one nation, then another took the lead in developing the automobile as a sporting instrument and hence inevitably as a thing of greater common use and benefit. First Germany led the world, then France, then Great Britain and Italy and the United States. The Book of Sports Cars is a magnificent tribute to the glorious past and the exciting present, a fascinating record of the history that points to the challenging future. A book to be read for pleasure and profit, it will be an invaluable addition to the library of every enthusiast of motoring history...” (1959) - BRIGGS CUNNINGHAM
