Colin Chapman: The Comic-strip Biography by Denis Bernard

Endorsed by his family and with a foreword by his son Clive, this all-colour hardback tells Chapman's story in comic-strip form. Beautifully drawn and historically accurate, this brilliant book will enlighten and charm motorsport enthusiasts in equal measure.
