Seller's Description:
Near Fine Condition in Near Fine jacket. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; slight handling wear to jacket, colour fading on spine. This book is an engaging window into the early development of the Spitfire (and GT6), its sporting efforts, subsequent tweaks and facelifts, and eventual demise. Robson worked at Standard-Triumph in the early 60's and the book is packed with photos and nuggets of information. A chapter is devoted to the works racing programme in 1964-65, which I found particularly illuminating. It's not just dry facts and figures, you get a sense of the people running the company and how decisions were made. (Reader review) 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
