Written by David Wright; Nick Jefferies.
Stock no. 1829615
Published by Lily Publications. 1st 2011. Slightly better than very good condition.

For 100 years the Isle of Man Mountain Course has been the ultimate challenge in motorcycle road-racing as it twists and turns through towns, villages and open countryside, before climbing over bleak mountain and moorland, then plunging almost to sea level to complete its dramatic 37.75 mile lap distance. Here are recollections from many of the top road-racers of the past century, whose skills have pushed lap speeds from 50 mph in 1911 to over 130 mph in 2011.

The automobile of today owes much to what happened on a small island between 1904 and 1922. The challenge came in racing over the most testing course imaginable.

Without them, the modern car would never have developed as fast as it did. Large format. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour frontis. B/w photos throughout. 173 pages. ISBN: 1873120613.
