On Tuesday 8 November, the results were announced, and Classic Driver was delighted to discover that our book, ‘The Bentley Brooklands’, was Highly Commended in the Limited Edition and Fine Binding category. Co-written by author and racing driver Tony Dron, and his respected fellow journalist Simon de Burton, ‘The Bentley Brooklands’ is the story of how this remarkable modern-day automobile was conceived, designed and made, followed by a gloriously evocative account of taking one such car across Europe. Striking pictures by world-renowned photographers Michael Bailie and Charlie Best, and a beautifully crafted burgundy Pasubio leather cover matching the interior of the featured car, make the ‘Special’ edition of this book a particular delight to own. The ‘Special’ edition, published in strictly limited numbers, also comes in a velvet-lined, burgundy Pasubio leather-covered slipcase with foil blocking on front and spine.

The ‘Standard’ version of the book is bound in burgundy cloth, with a velvet-lined burgundy cloth slipcase and, again, foil blocking on front and spine. The two versions are priced at £295.00 and £125.00, respectively, plus post & packing. A few copies are still left; to order, please email [email protected] or see www.bentleybrooklandsbook.com.
