'you can learn and see everything about the legendary Ford GT40s, thanks to a large-format, four-volume encyclopaedic work.

'In over 46 years of research, Spain has amassed such an archive of information and images that he is the world's most consulted expert on the subject.

'An extremely analytical work in a precious, expensive volume, rich in images, many of which are previously unpublished. And this is just the beginning. Then, one by one, the other three will be published. We can't wait.'

'46 Years of Research: The Ford GT40 Bible'

Magneto

'The first instalment looks at the chassis numbers and the fascinating tales from each car's life. Split into the different eras and builders, the book's level of detail is incredible.

'The imagery is a delight, too, with more well known photos from both Ford and the Revs Institute displayed alongside rare personal archive material.

'It is a timely book, particularly for GT40 enthusiasts. As the author regularly notes, claims to chassis numbers and entire cars have been made over the years, so establishing the reality over noise must have ben a challenge. It's clearly a labour of love – one that's taken more than 45 years to bring to fruition. 

This is no dry going-over of the records, though. Within these 576 pages lies intrigue and fascination aplenty.

'This £325 book, which is limited to 750 copies, is a must for those with a love for the GT40 and the era in which it was created. Beautifully written, illustrated and produced, it is also highly recommended for even those less obsessed with this legendary Ford.'
