The racing aspect of this soft bound publication is very brief, with a nod to the works TRs at Le Mans and the unique Macau Spitfire and the rest of the brief racing chapter dedicated to American racing, reflecting perhaps that the author is American. It is the two-seat road cars which are the main focus with some fine images of the various TRs, the Spitfire and GT6. The author is an enthusiast for British cars in general and Jaguars seem to pop up rather often too, whether it be demonstrating the close working relationship between the Standard and Swallow companies (which became Triumph and Jaguar respectively) before the war or to show off that a GT6 and E Type coupe look vaguely similar and both have straight-six engines.
