Master the principles of competition vehicle engineering with Racing and Sports Car Chassis Design by Cosworth co-founder Michael Costin and motorsport journalist David Phipps. Published in London by B. T. Batsford Ltd (First Edition, Third Impression, 1962), this foundational British hardcover guide is widely regarded as a definitive early text on classic race car frame and suspension engineering.

Richly detailed with technical drawings by James A. Allington alongside structural diagrams, the book covers space frames, monocoque construction, stress analysis, suspension geometry, spring rates, roll centers, and material selection. An essential vintage technical manual for race car builders, historic motorsport engineers, chassis restorers, and classic sports car enthusiasts.
