Does anyone have any recommendations for a Christmas gift for a car-mad family member?

I am ideally looking for a nice illustrated hardback book or informative and interesting DVD that include elements of;
50's and 60's sports and racing cars - especially Lotus
(Lotus 6 is of particular interest!!)
1960-70's racing heroes
Vintage Formula 1 or general single seater racing
The Monaco Grand Prix

Failing this, do you have any recommendations for general high quality motoring DVDs or Books? I am trying to avoid all the really low budget, boring rubbish that is out there!!

Thanks

Depends on how much you want to spend, I've been eyeing up this McLaren book for £40

The cobra Ferrari wars DVD is pretty good- plenty of footage of old racers

Something like that would be good, especially with a Lotus theme.

Budget, probably up to £50.

I saw a DVD box set on "The Lotus Story" but I have no idea of the quality of this. I would prefer something that has got the PH stamp of approval! smile

hehe

A decent example of any of those areas would be fine. Although, the more the better! biggrin
