SPORTS CARS ...in colour ...by Ronald Barker published 1962 hardback book with dust jacket This is essentially a book of pictures ,and the words to accompany them are merely ,as it were,the menu for the motoring gastronome.They should tickle his palate by telling him something about the delicacies he is about to savour ,without boring him with too much detailed definition or description of their constitution and preparation. Many habitues of the sports car restaurant probably know the menu so intimately that they do not have to be reminded that 1949 was a vintage year for Ferrari ,or that the D-Type was the first Jaguar to be served with disc brakes .They know already that one can have a sports car dished up in as many ways as a hunk of Ox flesh ,and that no overall definition can cover them all .All the subjects belong to the decade 1951 -1961 and but they are not intended to provide an overall pictorial history of the period.Some of the cars are simply in the book because of their contribution to the sport. Colour photographs to savour :Aston Martin DB4,Cunningham C-4-R,Maserati Tipo 6t,Lister Jaguar,Facel Vega Facellia,Morgan Plus Four,Ferrari 250 GT California,Lotus Elite,Lancia D .24 ,Austin Healey 3000 S,Chevrolet Corvette,Abarth 750 GT ,Mercedes Benz 300SL,MG Series MGA ,Porsche 718RS,TR3,OSCA,AC ACE,ASTON MARTIN DBR1
