What is the best Colin Chapman book?

[WayneB]

I have read most of the above books and I like the forthright honest approach that Mike Lawrence took, Ludsvigsen's has a much greater technical content though If you prefer that aspect.

You may want to read Peter Warr's book, "Team Lotus , My View From The Pit Wall" for an account of Chapman by someone who worked closely with him in the glory years and Tony Rudd's "Its Been Fun" which as I remember pokes fun at Chunky's constant battle with his weight.

No news on the Mike J Kimberley Autobiography, I am told Mike has had a lot of heath issues since retiring so I'm currently unsure whether its still on or off ATM.

I do hope Mike manages to finish his book and get it published as I'm sure his accounts of working with Sir William Lyons and later Colin Chapman would be fascinating.

Just found a copy of Car Magazine for JUbe 1966 on eBay. It's a Lotus special edition (but with the then new 105 Alfa Spider on the cover).
