Driving Ambition - McLaren F1 Story

Limited edition Driving Ambition McLaren F1 story book signed by Gordon Murray.

In as new condition and kept in it's protective box since new, this copy has never been read and has the original poster.

If you've never heard of it, this is what Car magazine said about it in 1999.

'This book does the near impossible by living up to the McLaren F1's awesome reputation. Ultimate car gets ultimate book...Written by Doug Nye - the man who wrote the original F1 sales brochure - with help from Messrs Murray and Dennis, it is simply definitive. Starting with the dream-like sketches in young Murray's college books, taking in the now legendary chat in an airport lounge which hatched the idea, and going through every fractional evolution of the plan which culminated in the greatest road car ever built, it is a fascinating journey.' -- Car magazine, December 1999

Having a clear out, got this when I worked at McLaren 17 years ago where Gordon Murray signed it. Looking for £275
