Jim Clark: A Photographic Portrait

To many enthusiasts, Jim Clark remains the greatest racing driver in history. Modest and gentle, yet charismatic, Clark had a towering ability to get the maximum out of any car he drove without appearing to be trying hard. From a Scottish borders farming background, Clark won 25 of the 72 Grands Prix he drove in to take two World Championship titles and also won the 1965 Indianapolis 500. The wonderful images in this book have been selected to chart the career of a modest young man who joined teenage friends in taking up motorsport as a hobby, and discovered in himself an extraordinary natural talent. This 256 page book published in 2008 brings Clark’s career vividly to life through stunning images sourced exclusively from LAT, the world’s largest library of motor racing images. The book is in superb condition with light top creasing to dust jacket with pages in excellent condition. Dimensions 280 x 230 x 19 mm. Reference: BO-JCLRKPHTPOR-01
