The Land Speed Record 1947/1997

Product description

This book chronicles the fascinating subject of the World Land Speed Record, dating between the post-war period 1947 and 1997. The period thus effectively embraces John Cobb’s immediate post-war efforts in the 400-mph shattering Railton to Richard Nobles Thrust SSC. After much research, we have carefully selected articles and reports covering both the attempts and technical appraisals of the cars as reported within the pages of Autocar and Motor and then from 1988 the combined Autocar & Motor, and present these chronologically within the pages of this publication.
