Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Legendary racing driver Stirling Moss and designer.engineer/author Laurence Pomeroy chart the design history of top class racing cars in the post-war era though Moss's own first had knowledge of them - he drove most of the significant designs from 1950-1962 as the F1 cars went from big front engined drum braked Italian designs to sophisticated small rear engined disc braked spaceframes mostly built in England. In essence it's Moss's career matrched to car development from HWM and BRM V16 through Maserati 250F and Mercedes W196 to Cooper Climax and Lotus 18 with a great many other types and makes along the way. Pomeroy tells the technical tale, Moss tells you how they handled, why they were better for this or that feature and in the case of the BRM V16 why it was "The worst car I ever drove" ! He pulls no punches (he never did!) Fascinating book.285 pages There is an unidentified signature in the front dated "VSCC Silverstone 1967" which isn't Moss, and Pomeroy was already dead by 1967. Hardback in very good condition, with very good original jacket that is a little sun-faded at the spine. Seller Inventory # LD 173
