This review is from: GT40: The Legend Lives on (Osprey Classic Marques) (Paperback)

This book contains many large and detailed photos of original GT40's which attended the GT40 reunion held at Elkhart Lake's Road America in July 1994. All versions (I-IV) represented. Light on text but heavy on great pictures.

2.0 out of 5 stars Colorful, January 24, 2001

This review is from: GT40: The Legend Lives on (Osprey Classic Marques) (Paperback)

Lots of pics of the outside of the car. The book was lacking when it came to detailed data and interiorpics. Also missing were aan abundant photos of the area under the front and rear bonnets, as well as extreme close ups.

This review is from: GT40: The Legend Lives on (Osprey Classic Marques) (Paperback)

I'm confident that I probably have a copy of at least 90% of all the books ever written on the GT40, many of which are larger and more detailed. However, without a doubt, this is the book I most often refer to due to the extraordinary number of excellent photos of many of the most significant - and obscure - GT40 Mk I's and Mk II's. Bear in mind, this is not intended to be a technical treatise; rather, it is a pictorial resource guide for fans of the GT40.

For the enthusiast, and especially anyone restoring or building a GT40, this book is an absolute must. I only hope that this book is reprinted soon, and the author offers an updated version that includes the Sbarro and Superformance/Hi-Tech continuation models!
