DESCRIPTION:
Hill claimed pole position, and Clark won the race – a remarkable debut for an engine that went on to become the most successful ever in Formula One. The Ford Cosworth DFV engine first appeared at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1967, powering the Lotus 49s of Graham Hill and Jim Clark. The DFV won a remarkable 155 Grands Prix, the last of which was in 1983, 16 years after its debut. Published to coincide with the DFV’s 40th anniversary, this beautifully produced book tells the full story of this remarkable engine’s development and evolution.

G. J. Hardy said The Ford Cosworth DFV. Very Disappointing. I expected to find details of the DFV engine, not to concentrate on veriations of racing cars that it was fitted too.

Not a bad book, but not particularly great. Shorter and less in depth than you would expect for the most successful F1 engine of all time. Although I haven't read Duckworth's autobiography I have a feeling this would be a better bet. Also, watch for Veloce's upcoming Ford F1 book inspired by the late Anthony Pritchard.. Great Photos & Text! Mark B. Great photos, great text!
