 The idea was intriguing to enthusiasts at the time; a series of car
books that profiled all the great collector cars, most of which were
well-known racing cars. Specially commissioned full-color illustrations
were done for each car, showing it head-on front and rear, a side
profile, and in the case of the Jaguar D-type, an overhead view.
Each profile ran about 24 pages in length, so the information
provided was quite in-depth and included lots of interesting period
photographs. Full specifications were included, too, along with
factory-supplied publicity photos. Collection 1 featured profiles on the
Ferrari 246 SP-330, Talbot-Lago 4-1/2-liter, F1 Repco-Braham, Chaparral
2, 2D and 2F, Porsche 917, and Alfa Romeo Type B; while Collection 2
featured profiles on the Facel Vega, McLAren M8, 4-1/2-liter Bentley,
Matra MS80, Jaguar D-type, Rolls-Royce Phantom II.
