This 80-page, full-colour publication covers the resurgence of the Lotus Gold Leaf team following the death of its star driver, Jim Clark, looking back on his great on-track battles aboard Lotus 49s and 72s against the likes of Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt or Emerson Fittipaldi.
Also included are documents for the Type 63 (4WD) and Type 56B (4WD with gas turbine) experimental models. This documentation is really rare and exclusive, and you won't find it as extensive or detailed in any other publication.
250 essential photos of the time (230 of them in color) for lovers of detail, or simply for fans of Formula 1, covering different races of the seasons between 1968 and 1971. Two special chapters dedicated to the Lotus 63 and Lotus 56B are included.
Most of the texts are in Japanese, with some partial translations in English.
