BOOK OF THE WEEK   

DRIVING AMBITION 

THE OFFICIAL INSIDE STORY OF THE McLAREN F1 

by Doug Nye . 

A suitably lavish book on what was, at the time, the worlds fastest road car . The concept, design and development of the legendary McLaren F1 is described described by histioian-supreme Doug Nye with direct input from McLaren supremo Ron Dennis, who's 'baby' the car was and the avante garde ex Grand Prix car designer Gordon Murray who switched from penning McLarens world title winning GP cars (and before that Brabham's F1 title winners) to designing this amazing piece of automotive engineering, largely single-handed in a fashion that will surely never be repeated in our lifetimes.

Published in 1999 this large book comprises 271 pages and a mass of factory photos despicting the car from it's first outlines to winning the GT series in 1995 and 1996 and triumphing in the Le Mans 24 hours.

This example still includes the original poster that was issued with it.What more can one say than a suitably opulent , and expensive book for such an iconic piece of motoring indulgence! 

 Fine condition and fine dust jacket .

 Price  £135.00 plus postage

Roland - The 'Works Van'

This is our Ford Popular 100E - or "Roland" as he's known .  He's the 'works van' and runs to and from the Post Office delivering parcels on a daily basis and at a sedate speed.. 

Roland is a 1960 1172cc side valve model with three speed gearbox and , because he's the De Luxe model has the luxury of a heater ...

He gets quite a lot of miles under his wheels each week and so needs the occasional bit of time off for  repairing and restoration - if anyone his any reasonably priced spare parts or tune up bits (Aquaplane would be nice, a Ford V8 side valve would be nicer....) just let us know !
