by Clive Beecham
Every D-type is special—few were made and the one here is one of only six surviving long-noses. It was raced hard and successfully and 60-odd years later it’s not only still around but in largely original condition! A story worth reading, and in a rather spectacular book.

Carchictecture, Houses with Horsepower
by Demeulemeester, De Bruyne, Voet
