Cunningham - The Passion, the Cars, the Legacy

This illustrated work brings together, for the first time, a complete account of the racing achievements and motoring activities of Briggs Swift Cunningham II.
Known as a competitor, supporter and driving force behind the rise of road racing in the United States, he not only created cars that carried his name into world-class competition but also fielded many other models in American and European events during the late 1950s and early 1960s. His personal collection ranged from ordinary vehicles to rare and impressive machines.

Author Richard Harman spent seven years researching this long-awaited tribute. With exceptional access to previously unpublished archives from the Cunningham family and former team members, he was able to document the history of most Cunningham-owned cars with remarkable precision.

Published in two volumes, the book received the 2014 Cugnot Award from the Society of Motoring Historians and was shortlisted for both the RAC Book of the Year Award 2014 and the 2013 International Historic Motoring Awards Publication of the Year.

Cunningham Sports Cars: American Racing Legends 1951-1955

This book traces the achievements of Briggs Cunningham, a well-known sportsman and America's Cup yachtsman who became a leading figure in post-war sports-car racing. It presents the remarkable cars that carried his name and marked his career on both American and international tracks.

The story begins with the Chrysler-powered C-2 of 1951 and continues with the C-3 of 1952, a Vignale-bodied model offered as both a coupé and a cabriolet. It then follows the C-4R, successful at Le Mans and dominant in American events, and the C-5R of 1953, built to challenge Jaguar at Le Mans.
The book also covers his modified 1954 Ferrari with water-cooled brakes and the introduction of the C-6R in 1955.

Rare and previously unpublished photographs from the Ludvigsen Library complete this history, showing these cars on the track and at rest, proudly representing the United States.
