The famous cars made by ERA (English Racing Automobiles) epitomize
British motor racing during the 1930s and have a very special place in
the affections of patriotic enthusiasts. This magnificent book tells the
story of a uniquely historic example that has competed almost without a
break for 80 years and achieved innumerable successes.
R4D was campaigned extensively before and after the Second World War by
Raymond Mays, the leading light of the ERA company, before passing
through a succession of subsequent owners who have kept this famous car
at the forefront of competition to the present day. The extraordinary
life of R4D, a formidably powerful and charismatic racing car, is told
in fascinating detail in this long-awaited book.
