Ed Swart: From Zandvoort to Daytona
Issue #23 Jul/Aug 2022 They say good things come in small packages, and few things look quite as engaging as an Abarth 595 on three wheels with its tiny engine screaming for more revs in wheeled combat. In the 1960s the master of this fine art was Ed Swart – a talented racer, engineer and businessman who won the Division 1 class of the 1965 European Touring Car Championship. Though this was the highlight of a varied career, Swart turned his hand to GTs, sports cars, sports prototypes and Can-Am, among many other things. Much like Sir Stirling Moss, Swart keenly kept a diary of all his racing activities, scrupulously maintaining a record of results, press cuttings and more. It’s all been collated in this 10-inch-square hardback book, produced in association with Johnny Tipler. |
