B42 Elise and Exige - The Complete Story 1995-2020 By Johnny Tipler

There have been many books written about these two legendary cars but Johnny Tipler has used his extensive knowledge and contacts to produce an absorbing book written in his own unique style. Elise was launched at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show and immediately established itself as a true Lotus in every sense of the word. As both cars enter their final year of production, this volume offers a comprehensive account of their concept, development, evolution and the specifications of their many variants and derivatives. Along with the bare facts, Tipler takes us on drives and road trips to really understand what makes these cars so very special. 390 stunning colour photos - many not seen before - allied to interviews with key people such as Richard Rackham, Gavan Kershaw, Neil Thomas, Russell Carr, Barney Hatt and Elisa Artioli complete this excellent book.

Highly recommended by us. Published by Crowood Press (www.crowood.com). Hardback, 260mm H x 215mm W, 192 pages, fully illustrated with 390 colour photos.
