The rest of the pages are clean throughout and the binding tight. Overall very good condition, a smart clean copy. x + 240 pp. "The Story Raymond Mays has to tell, authoritative, lucid, frank and entertaining, complete not only in the sense of dealing with the designing, building, testing and racing of all the cars up to and including the brilliant V8. It contains the author's memories of famous drivers, and takes the reader behind the scenes into the complex and difficult game of 'politics' which the racing men had to play in order to win support, and keep it in the face of constant reverses."
