A new edition of the universally acclaimed out-of-print 1997 book
is lightly edited & completely redesigned in colour throughout.
This classic of motor racing celebrates the life and achievements
of Jim Clark (1936-1968), World Champion 1963 and 1965. A royalty
on every copy sold in Britain (price GBP22.50) will be donated to
the Jim Clark Trust. Patrons Sir Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard,
Dario Franchitti and Allan McNish celebrate the new edition, Sir
Jackie describing Clark as "...the best racing driver I ever raced
with and against". Three times Le Mans winner Allan McNish: "A
modern driver winning the British Grand Prix, racing in Formula 2,
then at Indianapolis would be unthinkable." David Coulthard: "There
is no question that Jim's achievements and Jackie Stewart's input
were fundamental to me becoming a professional racing driver." Eric
Dymock details Clark's place in motor racing history and total
command of Formula 1, portraying him as an individual, nail-biting
and insecure, yet the greatest driver in any sort of motor
sport.Celebrating the life and achievements of Jim Clark
(1936-1968), Formula 1 World Champion 1963 and 1965, this book
details his place in motor racing history and his total command at
the wheel. From a Scottish farming family, Clark rewrote the annals
of American racing at Indianapolis, second at his first attempt in
1963, winning in 1965. Seemingly equal to the odds of the most
dangerous eight years at the top of motor racing, Clark died in an
unlikely accident in a minor race at Hockenheim on April 7 1968.
Genius at the wheel was not enough. Rivals' campaigns for safety
thereafter saved countless lives on and off the track.
Another Eric Dymock classic, first of his new Vintage Archive
series, on Jaguar. In colour, with model-by-model detail and a
narrative of the successes and failures of Jaguar up till 1955.
Jaguar made motorcycle sidecars for soldiers returning from the
Great War. In the 1920s it made the stylish cars they then aspired
to. In its centenary year, Jaguar's story is detailed in a new
series of Eric Dymock's Vintage Archive. Book 1 begins with creator
Bill Lyons' 21st birthday, entitling him to sign company cheques
for a fledgling partnership. The 1930s Brooklands set thought
Jaguars infra dig with a feeble engine under an imposing bonnet. By
the 1940s a classic marque with Grace Pace and Space, Jaguar was a
symbol of speed and style. The XK120 was pre-eminent and C-types,
now prized by collectors, won Le Mans. Book 1, on sale as both a
paperback and ebook from November 2021, takes us to the middle
1950s, Jaguar riding the crest of a wave, Bill Lyons about to
become Sir William. For 60 of those 100 years, author Eric Dymock
has been chronicling Jaguar, road testing them at The Motor, The
Autocar, The Times, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, syndicating
features throughout Europe. Jaguars featured throughout his 13
years as Motoring Correspondent of The Sunday Times, leading to the
publication of three editions of The Jaguar File in his classic
File book series with Dove Publishing from 1999 onwards. Jaguar
Cars confidently distributed copies world-wide to journalists at
press launches. Head of Design Ian Callum recommended its research;
Jaguar used it to prime new staff. The Eric Dymock Vintage Archive
expands and updates a lifetime's experience and research into The
Jaguar Centenary Book One 1922-1955.
