Spaceframe Cars 1960-1965

Doug Nye is the world's most respected author and researcher on the historic racing scene and Tony Rudd's distinguished motor industry career included many years as BRM designer and chief engineer. Little wonder then that the first volume in this series was hailed as the most detailed and authoritative history of a grand prix team ever published.

Now, Volume 2 of their four-volume BRM history takes the story forward into the V8 era with the last of the cars built around a tubular chassis. It covers the most successful period in the Formula 1 team's career, including the World Championship won with Graham Hill in 1962, the first two of his five wins at Monaco and the first two of his three victories in the US GP at Watkins Glen.

Having unique access to the BRM company files, the authors have been able to delve deeply into the emotion-charged background of the BRM team's final emergence as a Grand Prix front runner, to their involvement in the Tasman races in Australasia and to their first foray at Le Mans with the Rover-BRM gas turbine cars.The print run of this historically important volume is being restricted to 2500 numbered copies.

Hardback. 304 pages.

NB Volume 3 will be published mid-2003 and will concentrate on the V8-powered monocoque cars from 1964-1968.
