This indispensible reference is a refreshing reminder of an era when great motor racing reputations were built. Mike Lawrence recalls not only charismatic marques like Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo from Italy; Mercedes-Benz and Porsche from Germany; and BRM, Lotus and Cooper from the UK - cars with which drivers like Fangio, Ascari, Moss and Hawthorne became international stars - but also the most obscure names like Clairmonte, Kieft, Stebro and Walker, all of which were part of the total GP scene. Grand Prix Cars 1945-65 is both an indispensible reference and compelling reading.
