CAN-AM CARS IN DETAIL - PHOTOGRAPHS by Peter Harholdt
Photographer Peter Harholdt selected 12 images representing different
eras of Unlimited Sports Car Racing from the work he did for
this spectacular new book and produced a Limited Edition Portfolio
entitled 'Can-Am Cars in Detail - Photographs'. Each photograph
measures 17" x 22" with an image size of 15.5"
x 20.5".
Only 50 sets will be produced.
These superb images, seen above,
are delivered in a handsome presentation case designed by Tom
Morgan, who worked with Harholdt, Lyons and David Bull Publishing
on the book itself.
'Can-Am Cars in Detail - Photographs'
is priced at $1,500.00 plus shipping and is in stock at The Motorsport
Collector. Reserve HERE.
In addition to the Portfolio,
prints of any Harholdt photograph from the book 'Can-Am Cars
in Detail' can be produced in various sizes. Contact The Motorsport
Collecto for additional information.
PETER HARHOLDT PHOTOGRAPHIC SERVICES
If you are interested in having Peter Harholdt photograph your
car or car collection, we can make arrangements for him to bring
his portable studio to your location. Contact TMC, and we'll
make the proper introductions.
8/25/10 UPDATE: Both 1/18 and 1/43 scale '09 Brazil GP versions
of Jenson Button's Brawn GP Mercedes BGP 001 are due to arrive
from Minichamps next week. That weekend, Button clinched his
first World Championship and Brawn became the first marque to
win the F1 Constructors title in their first season.
Also due are several unique
models from Spark and Bizarre including the Bugatti Monge airplane,
the British Steam Car LSR (sold
out), the Colibri Off Shore race boat
and several LeMans, Daytona and F1 race cars.
Check out the full lineup HERE.
8/17/10 UPDATE: Back from a quick trip to Laguna Seca to participate
in the celebration of Dan Gurney's many contributions to motor
racing. Check out our photo album on the TMC
Facebook page. While we were there, we met up with some TMC
customers, suppliers and future suppliers (subscribe to our Email
Updates to stay up to date with new products). We'd like to thank
Pete Lyons and Peter Harholdt for signing bookplates to be installed
in their new book 'Can Am Cars in Detail' ($99.95 order HERE)
just released by David Bull Publishing. We will begin shipping
this new title later this week. There are still a few signed
bookplate copies available at no additional charge. Watch for
other signed book offers in the next few months.
A quick turnaround this week.
See you at Road America this weekend!
8/3/10 UPDATE: A spectacular new book featuring Can Am cars like
you've never seen them before will be introduced at next weekend's
Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca:
'Can-Am Cars in Detail'
will feature 22 surviving Group 7 Can Am cars artistically presented
by the brilliant studio photography of Peter Harholdt and discussed
in a vivid, authoritative text by the foremost expert on the
Can Am, Pete Lyons.
A wide variety of marques is
represented in this book. From the dominant McLarens and Porsches
to the Lolas, Shadows and Chaparrals that challenged them on
a regular basis. There are also interesting cars from Caldwell,
Genie, McKee and Ferrari along with two examples of the ingenuity
of Dan Gurney's All American Racers.
The expertise and quality demanded
by David Bull Publishing allows Harholdt's impressive color photographs
to bring to life every component of these sometimes brutal but
always innovative and beautiful machines. And as he has done
before, Pete Lyons draws on his extensive Can Am background to
put each car in perspective, whether or not you saw them racing
back in the day.
SIGNED COPIES
Both Pete Lyons and Peter Harholdt have graciously agreed to
sign bookplates for us at the launch of their great new book
at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca next weekend. Bull Publishing has
advised us that we will have delivery here at TMC in late August.
These signed copies will be available at no extra charge, first
come, first served.
Also, Peter Harholdt is planning
the release of a portfolio of prints from his photographs in
'Can-Am Cars in Detail'.
Watch this space for details.

Also thanks to Jo & William Taylor and Steve & Michelle
Gesseor for their assistance in getting the Team Lotus books

We'll be unpacking the trailer

A couple bits of news first:

Last but not least, congratulations
to Paul Powell for organizing an unforgettable Mark Donohue Reunion
at RA last weekend. Paul spent at least a year making sure the
gathering of the right cars and people were there. It was spectacular!
COLLAGE: SIR JACKIE STEWART'S
GRAND PRIX ALBUM
A Limited Edition of 1500 copies worldwide.
Each numbered copy signed by Sir Jackie Stewart
Foreword by His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of
Monaco
'Beginning with some mementos from my
shooting days in the Fifties, that were donated by my mother,
my wife Helen carefully chronicled every last detail of my career
up until my retirement as a racing driver in 1973. It is a truly
intimate portrait that shows the real side of the sometimes unreal
life that Helen and I were both leading at the time'
- Sir Jackie Stewart
7/1/10 UPDATE: Throughout her husband's racing career, Helen
Stewart kept a scrapbook of photographs, press clippings and
memorabilia from the 3 time World Champion Jackie Stewart.
Over time, the scrapbook expanded
to 17 volumes!
COLLAGE is a 208 page version
of Helen Stewart's scrapbook, superbly reproduced with an English
printer founded in 1845. Using the latest oxidising inks on premium,
heavyweight, uncoated art paper, the book's pages are then bound
by hand at an artisan bookbindery in Scotland.
Each book features gilded page
edging and hand-tooled decorative work blocked in gold leaf.
The robust leather half-binding is presented in a hand-crafted
slipcase inspired by Sir Jackie's crash helmet. The case is finished
with silk-laminated paper, gold-foiling and a Royal Stewart tartan
band.
A complimentary DVD is included
with each copy of COLLAGE. It includes a short video story by
Lady Helen Stewart, an audio visual montage of friends and peers
speaking about Sir Jackie and a music video for 'Fly Free' -
a single written and recorded by Paul and Mark Stewart in their
father's honor, featuring Eric Clapton.

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA LeMANS 24 HOURS 1923-2010
6/21/10 UPDATE: The ultimate LeMans history is set for publication
as soon as data from this year's 24 Hours can be gathered and
verified by authors Christian Moity, Jean-Marc Teissedre, Alain
Bienvenu and Michel Bonte.
This three volume set (512 pages
per book) will contain photographs or illustrations of every
car that has started the 24 Hours of LeMans since 1923 plus the
majority of non-starters (approximately 4,000 photos total).
The text (in both French and English) will cover a wide range
of subjects, including the evolution of race regulations, driver
and entrant lineups, all classifications, the incidents and events
that marked the history of the event and descriptions of the
various circuit modifications and types of starts used in the
78 runnings of one of the sport's great events.
Two separate Editions of The
Encyclopedia LeMans 24 Hours 1923-2010 will be published:
- The 'Classic Edition' will
be available in a Limited Edition of 3000 slipcased volumes worldwide
and is priced at $499.99. Reserve HERE.
- A 'Prestigious Edition' of
just 500 sets is also planned. The content will be the same as
the Classic Edition but the book covers will be produced in imitation
alcantara and carbon and each set will arrive in a brushed aluminum
presentation case with an aluminum plate engraved with the owners
name. Call TMC for further information.
Delivery of the 'Classic Edition'
could come as early as late Summer with 'Prestigious Edition'
copies arriving towards year end.
NART FERRARI 330
P3 / 412P - LeMANS 1967
GMP has just announced two 1/18
scale versions of the Pedro Rodriguez / Giancarlo Baghetti Ferrari
entered by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team to compete
at LeMans in 1967. Chassis #0844 was the first of the original
P3's built and had been the third car in Scuderia Ferrari's 1-2-3
sweep at Daytona earlier in the year.
 At
LeMans, now wearing the American racing colors of white and blue,
the 412P qualified 8th and was running competitively until excessive
oil consumption caused by the installation of the wrong sized
piston rings at the Ferrari factory forced it to retire near
the midway point of the race.
Both Practice
($289.95 shown above) and Race
($279.95 at left) versions will be produced for release this
fall. The Practice version will be available in a Limited Edition
of just 412 pieces.
Features on both pieces include;
serialized plate, Diecast metal body with removable front and
rear bodywork, Poseable steering , Functional Suspension, Opening
fuel filler doors, Plumbed and wired engine, engine cover support,
Movable shifter, sliding side windows and Fabric seatbelts.

6/14/10 UPDATE: Here's a close-up look at the detail found on
