Customer Reviews

Superb companion to Chris Nixon's 'Racing the Silver Arrows'
Excellent - Purposely light on text, every page is packed with beautiful photos. Has a good balance of well-known and previously unpublished photos from the Audi, Mercedes, and even Alfa Romeo archives, including several pages of colour photos by Louis Klementaski. Complements other Silver Arrow volumes well, as the photos that re-appear here are often cropped differently and have excellent captions.

A future classic
Auto Union Album is now a reference for all motor racing fans.
This book will have the same faith in the near future.
Fantastic photographs who catch the glorious moments of the Silver Arrows' history.
Hundreds of photo's that make us live the amazing atmosphere that existed on the 1930's racing tracks.
A must have.
