The book is to be available via Amazon.ca on May 15 in Canada. Can't wait. Chris, the fact that your car is on the front and by virtue of your unique TR7 collection would be reason enough for me to get your autograph if I where on that side.

Got my copy too. I am one of those people who skims through a book first, then reads it properly later!

It is a fascinating book. Much of it you will already know, but some of the stories & information is new to me, very interesting insight into the politics of the developement.

Just makes me realise even more what might have been if production had continued. There was so much on the "drawing board", it's a tragedy all the plans came to nothing.
