Description: Touring Car Racing began in earnest in the UK in the 1950s, when it was known as saloon car racing and was a support class for open wheel and sports car races. Reading about the events is all very well, but Graham Robson, no mean writer himself, decided that the touring car story would be better told in pictures - and the result is this remarkable book, with page after page of great photographs of tin-tops racing. In the beginning there was the Jaguar Mk VII and Jaguar remained nearly invincible until the arrival of sundry Fords (Galaxie, Lotus Cortina, Mustang and Falcon Rallye Sprint) in the 1960s. Escorts, Camaros, Capris, Rovers and latterly Vauxhalls have all dominated at some time, and they are all here, beautifully presented on glossy art paper. This book is exactly what it says on the cover - a photographic celebration of 50 years.
