The focus of this early classic of motor racing is on the sports cars designed Cecil Kimberr and his early competitive car bodies which he mounted on standard chassis being produced by his employer's Morris Garages company and thus was born the iconic British MG sports car. However, the book is also a close examination of the European motor racing scene in the years following World War One, with many of the famous names of high speed motoring up to the early 1930s part of Barre Lyndon's record of those historic years and of equally historic settings such as Le Mans, Brooklands, Spa and Nurburg Ring. Followers of today's motor racing scene with be astonished at the achievements of cars and drivers of this bygone era from the design, performance, technology and human endeavour viewpoints. An early classic of its genre.
