Gathered together for the first time, here is a comprehensive record of the motoring achievements and competition history of Briggs Swift Cunningham II. He was a competitor, patron and pioneering champion of road racing in the USA, and in addition to the cars that bore his name with pride and competed against the best in the world, the Cunningham team raced many other models in the late 1950s and early 1960s in both the USA and Europe. Further, during his long life, Cunningham owned a large variety of vehicles ranging from the mundane to the spectacular. Richard Harman has spent the past seven years researching this long overdue and worthwhile tribute to the accomplishments of the great man. He was granted unprecedented access to hitherto unpublished archive material by the Cunningham family and the families of the team members and has been able to trace the history of most of the Cunningham-owned cars in great detail. This book has been awarded the 2014 Cugnot Award by the Society of Motoring Historians

Great Comprehensive Documentation

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2021

I have not had time to fully digest this 2-volume set. I have had time to thumb through and absorb some of the information and layout of the books. This set is well worth the staggering price, and worthy of inclusion in even the most exclusive of personal motor-head libraries.

Very, VERY nice photographs, publishing, packaging. It's worth it if you have a thirst for Cunningham cars and history.

Cunningham The Passion The Cars The Legacy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2020

My hat's off to the author and publisher for such a large and exhaustive history of Briggs Cunningham The Gentleman driver,team owner,Sportsman and great All-around American. Two large heavy hardcover with dustjacket books that come in a case with handle to carry. Every car,race by Cunningham as driver,owner or whatnot. I would have liked more on Briggs life outside the track more than was covered,and more Corvette coverage and photos he raced.Granted there is great Vette coverage in there. His Yachting is covered. They should have also include a string bookmark. You need not be An Cunningham fan to love this set, I have seen his Collection of which some are now the Collier collection at The Revs and I will go again. This set brings such a rich important American icon to life.

Cunningham, the passion, the Cars, the Legacy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 20, 2014

Yet another one of Dalton Watsons Annual Masterpieces. It must take courage to not only Commission but go ahead and Publish a work that is going to Retail at over £200. But the Public should be glad they do , for rather than a string of "Potboilers" on Makes covered generally ad nauseam these works go into the depth of Detail befitting the subjects Covered. The Talbot Lago Book was wonderful & this conyinues the Standard. Perfectly Printed & Presented this is a Major Work to be delighted by. I wonder just how "Saucthouk", in the Pipeline now will follow this .I look forward to it in the Autumn.

Interesting automotive history set - revised

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 26, 2015

Finally got around to ordering after reading every review I could find. Have only perused thru the volumes at this point.

The volumes are medium large / heavy and appear to be of robust construction and quality paper, on par with David Bull publications. Volumes come in a good slipcase which fits into a cardboard suitcase, which was secured in a packing box, which in turn was all held in a Royal Mail sack (a first for me).

There are many B+W / color photos of various sizes. Many are snapshots from photo albums, so their quality varies from average to excellent.. An extensive index / appendixes of all the cars / drivers involved with Cunningham and the races they took part in, is in back of Vol 2. I look forward to reading the set as I know nothing at all of the Cunningham history but be forewarned, this set focuses on the cars he built / raced and collected. It's not about the man himself. Author states that creating this set took 7 years and he had complete access to the family archives.

These volumes are not picture books with double spread studio 'glamour' shots, nor are they a coffee table set. They are a serious 'reference' compilation, to be read and referred to over and over, with the accompanying photos as further clarification.

This may be premature but from what I've seen so far and based on my many other online book purchases, I would approximate that this set should sell for $150-200 tops (bearing in mind the quality and extra packaging), not the $338 CDN (plus shipping) I paid, and that's the lowest price I've ever seen. Thus the 4 star rating instead of 5, which may be upgraded after reading !

Appears that a lot of investigative work went into researching all of the hundreds of cars / dozens of drivers and the many races they took part in. From condensed history's of the cars and where they are today, to individual bios on each of the drivers.

P.S. After doing a quick read thru Vol I, based on the quality of data presented so far, must update my rating to 5 stars. The depth of research involved is astounding. Even if not a fan of Cunningham cars, I'd recommend this set as it also presents condensed company histories of all the cars Cunningham owned (for pleasure and racing). This encompasses the 'Golden Age' of sports car racing in the U.S. If you like vintage Porsche, Ferrari, Aston, Mercedes, Gordini, Osca, MG, Austin, Abarth, Alfa, Maserati, Jaguar, Bentley, Stanguellini, Elva, Lotus etc. you'll enjoy this set and the photos are mostly good to excellent. I highly recommend this set if you can afford the high price, it's for good reason it won the Book of the Year award. Beauty with the layout is that the chapters can be read piecemeal as individual mini-books as opposed to reading both volumes at once, back to back.

Chapters are.................

Vol I:
Cunningham racing History
Individual Cunningham car bios (C1-C6)
Bios on other cars raced by Cunningham (1912-54)

Vol II:
Bios on other cars raced by Cunningham (1955-72)
Other road cars owned by Cunningham
Continuation Cunningham C-4R's
Bios on Cunningham Team drivers
60 page appendix of race results / company docs etc.
