Gentleman, Start Your Engines! The Bonhams Guide to Classic Sports & Race Cars
By Jared Zaugg
As enthusiasts of exclusive limited series, record-making vehicles and legendary races, author Jared Zaugg and the team at Bonhams have collected the crème de la crème of Bonhams offerings in recent years and chronicled them in this coffee table-style publication. The book features a selection of models that go far beyond mere technical stats and gleaming chrome. Rather, they all offer something far more valuable—compelling stories. These include the rare and uniquely configured Lamborghini Miura SV Coupe purchased by rock star Rod Stewart. Or the Bugatti Type 57S Atalante Coupe, from 1937 that, after the owner’s death, was rediscovered by his family sitting exactly as he left it nearly a half-century earlier. All the big names are included, but the focus is on what can be found behind the logos and the polished surfaces.
Think of it as a hard-backed “Best of” auction catalog spanning the past 10-20 years. $70.00 • www.gestalten.com
