New McLaren book due out in March 2004

[Peloton25]

3 different frontcovers! And you have all 3?
I have the West cover on mine.

I don't have all three, in fact sadly I don't even have one copy of this book yet, but here's an image I put together of the three cover styles for reference.

I have the west one too. Never seen the Gulf one

Mines also autograhped by GM & RD

I have the 95 Le Mans book as well which is a great book, some excellent shots

Can anyone tell me what they paid for their 95 & 96 BPR books and 97 Fia GT? I was bidding on all 3 but only won the 97 one, at almost 100 dollars. The other i got outbid at over £100. As much as I like the F1 it seems like a rediculous price for a book.

Also, it seems that the only books that come up for sale are for 95-97, when he F1 was raced, does anyone know if there are books fo 98 & 99?

Does anyone have the 82pg color magazine from (I think) 1994 on the F1? Any good?

Also: Is $110 a fair price for the 1996 GT Endurance book?

There is a 1992 Silverstone presentation brochure on offer at $675 - wow - it must be nice to be able to pay that sort of price for such an item...

The GT Endurance books normally finish in the $100-$200 range. It is a lot to pay for a book, but they are nicely done and great chronicles of the series.

I haven't seen a '98 or '99 edition, but I haven't really been looking for one. They may or may not exist.

If you are talking about the Autocar F1 Road Car book, it is very nice. It's almost like a condensed Driving Ambition, covering the development of the F1. Since it was printed in 1994 it wouldn't contain any of the GTR or LM info.

Seems about right.

Yeah - that's commonly referred to as the Launch Brochure. That price is a bit high for the softbound version. There's a rare hard cover version that sells for more than that usually, though I have only seen them come up about 3 times. The soft cover is not as rare as people would want you to believe, but there are a lot of interested buyers so it always sells for a good amount. There are a lot of brochure collectors out there that buy them even though they only have limited interest in the F1.

Didn't see Autocar anywhere in the description but it was published by Haymarket and I think that's the same outfit if memory serves. Worth having if I already have Driving Ambition?

Edit: correction, just found it on another site and it does say "an Autocar and Motor" publication so it is the same one.

They were free with Autocar at the time.

I would still say it has value, as it's not directly related to DA and some of the photos and info are different. I paid over $30 for my first copy of it ages ago but have seen them more recently sell for less than $10 which is a good deal.

You can find scans of almost all the pages in this Imagestation album if you would like to see what you'd be getting.
