The Targa Florio occupies a unique place in the history of motor sport. It was the sheer challenge of racing in some of the world's fastest sport cars on the narrow mountain roads of Sicily that has ensured the Targa Florio an honoured place in motor racing's unofficial Hall of Fame.
In this new 400-page, large format book author Ed Heuvink takes the reader back to re-live the post-war action in this amazing race with the help of hundreds of photographs taken from the archives of Bernard Cahier, LAT and McKlein. In addition to the year-by-year reports from 1955 to 1973 there is an A-to-Z of iconic cars, places, drivers and unique features of the Targa - like the practice on open roads. All these are presented with unique large-format photographs including many colour images going right back to 1955.
