For all Formula 1 fans out there! This book is a must read for those who admire the Formula 1 and the brilliant genius of Colin Chapman. Great pictures and a brief explanation of the history of each car.

Thats a marvelous book from William Taylor. No, it’s not a book, it’s the Encyclopaedia Britannica about Lotus cars an their creator Colin Chapman. Unfortunately, the publishing house has spared the slipcase in which the early editions came.

This book is simply a work of art. 256 pages in full color about all lotus cars past and present, how did I miss the first edition? Each car has at least 4 photographs: side-on, front, back and three-quarter. Some even have historical photos attached! Each car also has a detailed chart outlining more technical details than you’ll ever want to know. Cars included start with the lotus 7, 9 and 11 road cars and include every type of racing machinery imaginable. Everything from the rear-engine type 18 to the glorious and historical type 49 can be found. This, of course, means that every lotus, road going and otherwise is included in the book. Also included are pictures of pit passes, driving suits, drivers, and even a prototype carbon-fiber bicycle. The total tally is 389 color portraits and 734 smaller images. No other lotus book I have read so far compares with this one.
