Colin Chapman - The Biography is the official and definitive record of his achievements, a full and authoritative text and outstanding images which capture the extraordinary history of one of the world’s most iconic brands.
Colin Chapman - The authorised Biography has been published by Coterie Press in collaboration with Colin Chapman’s son Clive and Classic Team Lotus, and the book is a fitting and personal tribute to the company’s first 75 years - being celebrated in 2023.
The book consists of two 264-page volumes presented in a hard slipcase. It draws upon three principal sources:
- the biographical record of Chapman written by Gerard "Jabby" Crombac soon after Colin’s death in 1982
- the autobiography of Fred Bushell, Finance Director at Lotus for many years
- a multitude of assorted period texts and additional new material written and gathered by author, photographer and publisher, William Taylor.
In combination with more than 1500 images - many from the personal family albums maintained by Colin’s wife and Lotus co-founder Hazel Chapman - the text captures the extraordinary story of Chapman’s many accomplishments and provides a fascinating insight into the man.
