Bruce McLaren: Racing Car Constructor

Begg & Allen and Bruce McLaren Trust, 2004

This is the story of 'Bruce McLaren Racing Car Constructor' and many of those who worked for him. The story covers the period from the last months of 1963 to June 2nd, 1970. It is a 'story', it is not a history. Those who wish to study the history of McLaren cars are advised to study Eoin Young's and Doug Nye's excellent books. What happened after 2nd June 1970 is not the subject of this book. Many never-before-seen photos including color.

This pain isn't made any better by the artificial shipping delay induced by Amazon if the buyer elects to use the "super saver" shipping option. Also, for some unknown bureaucratic reason, Amazon US will not make available Vol 2 ...
