Colin Chapman by Karl Ludvigsen
Colin Chapman was one of the greatest ever creative forces in the automotive world but he left behind a mixed legacy. This title explores and exposes the motivations that drove this mercurial genius.
In his book on Chapman, Karl Ludvigsen takes a close look a the business and aerodynamic details - good and bad - that defined the man, and he comes up with and oft-told tale: that of the hero with the feet of clayIn the topical stakes, though, with a Bahar-led Lotus looking to reignite the company torch (some of which was originally done with stolen fire), the book will ultimately provide a compelling contrast between the Hethel of then and the one of now. - Autoblog.com
