Description

Much sought-after autobiography of the famous race & rally team manager who after a driving career of his own ran works FORD GT40's Shelby Cobras, Lotus Cortinas, Escort Mk1s, Galaxies GT500s , the beautifuyl but ill fated Ford F3L prototype, Can Am cars, rally cars and much more besides. Mann's team of crack drivers ioncluded Frank Gardner, Sir John Whitmore, Jack Brabham, JRogewr Clark , Jackie Oliver. They ran in everything from the British Touring Car Championship to the Mone Carlo Rally by way of Le Mans 24 hours and the Nurburgring 1000kms. And on top of that the team built the cars used in the film CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. 268 pages, masses of great photos and first hand anecdotes. Great book. Very very hard to find now. This one is very good, had a little wear along the top and bottom edged of the cover boards where it's been in and out of shelves, had a minor bit of fading on an otherwise fine jacket.
