Out in Front - The Leslie Ballamy Story
Our price: £17.98
The only biography of a brilliant and versatile inventor and automotive engineer whose skills had a major impact on the British motorsport scene both before and after the Second World War.
Out In Front was a trading slogan of Leslie Ballamy s LMB companies, whose suspension, engine and transmission conversions became a passport to success not only on race tracks, hill-climbs and trials venues, but also on the road, where customers for his go-faster conversions included some of the country s top sportsmen and even members of the aristocracy.
This is a story of a forthright character who was a great patriot, an inspiration to many, and a tireless and ingenious ideas man, who never stopped designing until the day he dropped dead at his drawing board at the ripe old age of 87.
KEY POINTS:
An important gap-filler in motorsports history.
Well-timed to benefit from the surge of interest in historic motorsport.
Includes many reproductions of drawings and data from the Ballamy archives.
Reveals through reproductions of correspondence and lecture material the extensive arguments which existed on car performance.
A vivid reminder of the days when people went racing on a relative shoestring.
