 Hey Doug: the old brain must be getting a liitle dim these days. I can only 
identify two of the drivers standing with Shel. Who are the other two?

We've got a great selection of new 'stuff' to tell you about this week so let's 
get to it!

 SHELBY: The Man, The Cars The Legend
by Wallace A. Wyss
Wyss's previous book on Carroll Shelby (Shelby's Wildlife: The Cobras and 
Mustangs), written 30 years ago, sold more than 50,000 copies and remained in 
print for 17 years, an amazing accomplishment for any motor racing book. In 
this compact (6"x9" 208 page) paperback 'sequel', he reviews the life and times 
of Carroll Shelby and brings us up to date on his current projects and 
passions. Along the way, he gives us an in-depth look at the fascinating career 
and tremendous accomplishments archieved by this motoring icon and spins a few 
new yarns as he goes. Well researched, this looks like a fun read. Includes 
small, but well 
captioned black and white photo section (50 photos). Not just another Shelby 
book! $19.95

To order, give us a call at 800.722.8630 or 630.515.1440 or use the Secure 
Order Form at www.MotorsportCollector.com.

 THE BEST OF LeMANS - DVD
>From the producers of Motorfilms Quarterly, three completely restored and 
>remastered full color (or colour) promotional films from the archives of 
>Standard Triumph chronocling the 1955, 1960 and 1961 24 Hours of LeMans: 
LeMans 1955 - Perhaps the most infamous sports car race in history because of 
the crash that killed 80+ spectators. The Fangio/Moss Mercedes 300SLR led early 
but was withdrawn after Levegh's fatal accident, giving Jaguar a 1-2-3 finish 
with their new D-type. 19 minutes.

LeMans 1960 - No less than 12 works Ferraris led the charge against the 
beautiful Birdcage Maserati and Briggs Cunningham's Corvette. 24 minutes.

Triumph at LeMans 1961 - Triumph took the team prize for the second straight 
year with their team of experimental TRs as Hill and Gendebien took the overall 
win for Ferrari. Historic footage of Jim Clark in the Border Reivers Aston 
Martin, which led part of the race. 35 minutes.

TOTAL RUNNING TIME: 1 HOUR 18 MINUTES $45.00 

 

Speaking of LeMans, this week we acquired a 1/12 scale Ford GT Mk II 1966 
LeMans winner, produced by GMP and 'sold out' for several years now. The black 
#2 car of Kiwis Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon was the beneficiary of HFII's 
decree that the dominant Ford GTs would stage a 'dead heat' finish at the end 
of the '66 24 Hours. Since it had started farther back than the #1 car of Ken 
Miles and Denny Hulme (which led most of the race), they were declared the 
winner. 
Our Staff (Jeff) has gone over this model and it appears to be in excellent 
condition. $575.00 plus shipping. 

 

NEW FROM CAROUSEL 1: Tony Bettenhausen's 1960 Dowgard Special Watson Roadster 
in 1/18 scale. Shipping Now! $139.95 
To order anything in this Update, give us a call at 800.722.8630 or
