Blurb of the book about Ford Versus Ferrari at Le Mans 1966

Long before the Hollywood lights – this is the true, full-throttle story behind the Ford–Ferrari war that defined a racing era.

Ford versus Ferrari goes far beyond the dramatized 2019 film to deliver the definitive, richly detailed account of the personalities, machines, politics, and motivations that clashed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966. With an insider’s grasp and a historian’s eye, John Starkey uncovers the real drama behind the corporate rivalry that reshaped motorsport.

From Henry Ford II’s failed bid to buy Ferrari to the last-minute technical fixes and pitlane tensions, this book unpacks how the GT40 emerged as both a symbol and a weapon in Ford’s quest to dominate endurance racing. Along the way, readers will meet the figures at the heart of the story – Ken Miles, Carroll Shelby, Enzo Ferrari, and many more – in all their complexity.

John Starkey was born in Birmingham, England. After school, with dreams of Rock stardom in mind, he played guitar in several bands, along the way opening for the Beatles in 1963. His father’s love of fast cars had passed down to him and, starting with a Jaguar XK120, bought in 1966. After a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta, life was never quite the same again. In 1997, John moved to America, where he began writing, naturally about racing cars, and has published more than twenty such books.

Blurb of the book about Ford Cosworth DFV in Formula 1

From 1967 to 1983, the Ford Cosworth DFV engine reigned supreme in Formula 1, powering cars to 13 Drivers’ Championships in just 16 seasons. Grand Prix Ford dives deep into the remarkable story of this revolutionary engine and the powerful partnership between Lotus, Ford, and Cosworth that brought it to life.

Written by the late Graham Robson — one of the UK’s most respected motorsport historians — and inspired by a concept by fellow historian Anthony Pritchard, this book captures the DFV’s dominance with clarity and authority. It’s not just about engines: it’s about the people, the teams, the victories, and the evolution of a motorsport legend.

  • Tracks the DFV’s development from Lotus’s exclusive use in 1967 to widespread dominance across teams like McLaren, Matra, and Williams.
  • Includes technical insight into engine design, performance advances, and the role of specialist rebuilders.
  • Analyzes rivalries and resistance from Ferrari and others — and why they couldn’t hold back DFV-powered teams.
  • Explores the DFV’s legacy through its turbocharged and evolved descendants: DFX, DFY, DFZ, and DFR.
  • Features over 300 rare and archival images, many from Ford’s own historical archives.

For any reader passionate about motorsport history, Grand Prix Ford is the definitive tribute to the engine that powered a golden era. Get under the hood of Formula 1’s most iconic breakthrough.

Blurb of the book on the Japanese performance car The Nissan GT-R

Nissan’s GT-R is more than just a car — it’s a legend. From its humble beginnings as a performance offshoot of the Skyline, to its domination on racetracks and drag strips around the world, the GT-R has earned its status as a true icon of Japanese engineering. For the first time, the entire story is told in one definitive volume.

This book offers the most complete chronicle yet of Nissan’s high-performance hero. Beginning with a brief look at Nissan and the Datsun brand, it delves into the earliest GT-Rs — models rarely seen outside of Japan, let alone covered in depth in English. From there, it tackles the famous R32, R33, and R34 generations in unprecedented detail, documenting their evolution, variants, and racing successes.

The final chapters are dedicated to the R35 — a model that redefined what a GT-R could be for the modern era. With production now winding down globally, this book comes at a pivotal moment, preserving a complete account of the GT-R legacy just as the curtain closes on its road-going story.

Filled with rare photos, insider insight, technical data, and motorsport achievements, The Nissan GT-R is a fitting tribute to one of the most important performance cars of our time.

Blurb of the book on the Lotus Europa written by Matthew Vale

The Lotus Europa was Colin Chapman and Lotus’ first mid-engined road car, and was produced from 1966 through to 1975. Originally designed to slot into the Lotus range below the Elan as a low cost replacement for the Lotus 7, the Europa eventually sat alongside the Elan and Plus 2 as a comparable sports car in its own right.

Starting with the design philosophy behind the development of the Europa, this book provides detailed technical descriptions of all the major versions of the model, starting with the Renault-powered Series 1 through to the Lotus Twin Cam powered Special. It looks at the cars on the road, and the racing Type 47 derived from the road cars which competed in the small capacity Group 6 class, as well as featuring in historic racing today.

With owners’ impressions and interviews with ex-Lotus employees, the book provides a valuable insight into owning, running, and racing these iconic cars.

Matthew Vale has been writing books on classic British motorcycles and cars since 2004. Now retired from day-to-day work in the IT industry, in which he was a Chartered IT professional specialising in computer security, he now devotes his free time to classic car and bike restoration, writing classic motoring books and articles, and spending time with his wife and family. In the past he has run such diverse classic cars as a Triumph Spitfire Mark III, MGB,Triumph Stag and a Lotus Elite, as well as restoring and riding classic bikes including the Triumph Bonneville, Norton Commando and BSA Lightning.
