Summary

Jim Clark and the Lotus 25 were a very successful combination, winning the 1963 Formula 1 World Championship. This is the story of the car he drove and of those who subsequently owned it, crashed it, and then eventually restored it to its original specification.

Jim Clark Summary

Jim Clark by Eoin Young

This compelling book marries together a study of a great period in the life of Jim Clark with the history of a great British marque, featuring in particular the famous Lotus 25, from its golden 1963 World Championship-winning year, through subsequent owners and crashes until the remains are discovered and the gallant old charger is restored to its original specification.
