BRM by Raymond Mays and Peter Roberts

BRM by Raymond Mays and Peter Roberts is the story of the British Racing Motors team, told from the inside. This is the first edition, published in London by Cassell & Company Ltd in 1962 (“First published 1962”), set in Imprint type and printed in Great Britain by Cox & Wyman Ltd.

The book follows the team in chapters such as “The World-Beater”, “The Idea is Born”, “Cap in Hand”, “A Car is Built”, “Humiliation”, “Fiasco at Monza”, “Up for Sale”, “End of the V16” and “A New B.R.M.”, tracing the project from its first idea through its setbacks and successes.

A sought-after title for collectors of motor racing history, BRM enthusiasts and anyone interested in British Grand Prix racing.

Condition – Very Good in a Good dust jacket

Green cloth boards with gilt spine lettering, with light rubbing and darkening to the spine ends and corners and a small nick to the cloth near the foot of the front joint. The pictorial dust jacket is unclipped but rubbed and chipped along all edges, with small losses at the spine ends and corners, a small brown spot on the front panel and light toning to the spine. The top edge is dusty and toned with a few spots, and the page edges are toned. There is faint spotting to the copyright page. The binding is sound.
