Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillippe's striking wedge-shaped Type 72 Formula 1 car was introduced on April 1st 1970, as a replacement for the unsuccessful four-wheel-drive Type 63, and the ageing Type 49. Having won both the World Drivers and Constructors Championship titles in 1970, the car went through a number of different evolutions to keep it competitive, resulting in a second pair of Championships in 1972, as well as the Constructors' Championship in 1973. It was still winning races in 1974 and scoring points in 1975. Very well illustrated with over 450 mostly unseen and historic full-colour images. The Condition is Very Good.
