About This Item
London: Motor Racing, 1953. A first edition, first printing published by Motor Racing Publications. Bound in red cloth covered hard boards and in the original dust jacket, unclipped (15/- NET). Illustrated with photographs. A very good book with some foxing to the fore-edge and end papers; the jacket is also Very Good with some wear and rubbing and with reinforcement tape to the edges of the verso, but most importantly and unusually the spine of the jacket remains bright and unfaded. An early book about the then young racing driver who was having much success racing in the UK and had just won his third Gold Star from the British Racing Drivers' Club ("BRDC").
