Iconic Classic Cars

Few people have encountered the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' that graces the cover of this book - the car once owned by Sophia Loren, with a history as fascinating as its design.

Iconic Classic Cars is a tribute to some of the world's most exclusive classic cars, from the 1954 Maserati A6GCS/53 Pinin Farina Berlinetta to the American muscle 1965 Ford GT40, the sublime blue 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and the razor-edged 1977 Lamborghini Countach 'Periscopio'. This book even features the legendary 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO and an authentic 1965 James Bond Aston Martin DB5, forever immortalised in Goldfinger.

Photographer Kevin Van Campenhout puts the spotlight on 25 classic cars, in the most extraordinary settings - both natural and urban. With expert accounts written by car specialist Yan-Alexandre Damasiewicz, these rare automotive gems unveil some, if not all, of their secrets in this stunning follow-up to Iconic Cars.
