Product Description
This compelling book marries together a study of a great period in the life of Jim Clark with the history of a great British marque, featuring in particular the famous Lotus 25, from its golden 1963 World Championship-winning year, through subsequent owners and crashes until the remains are discovered and the gallant old charger is restored to its original specification.

A worthwhile read for fans of Clark and Lotus May 31, 2008
All in all, this is a good book. The title and subtitle seem to indicate Clark and Lotus 25 chassis R4 get equal billing, but that isn't really the case. The biography of Clark is more of an overview - and the author realizes this. In his introduction he states there are other books about Jim Clark, but that this book "is especially different in that it is the story of one car with the characters and amazing events woven around it."
It does this very well. The history of this particular chassis is well documented after Clark's World Championship winning season of 1963 to over thirty years later when it was restored back to 1963 specs. The book is not an engineering overview of the Lotus 25; you will be disappointed if that's what you are looking for. However, if you want to read a great story about a man and a car, then Eoin Young tells a great tale about the great Jim Clark and the amazing Lotus 25.
