Just
in... Marvano's 'Grand Prix' trilogy, with sumptuous art work.
Mark Van Oppem was born
in Zolder, Belgium in 1953, and began his working life as an interior
designer. However, within a few years his passion for science-fiction
illustration had taken over, and prompted him to move towards a career
as an illustrator. Under the Marvano pseudonym, a contraction of his
first name and surname, he started by illustrating new items in Orbit,
a Dutch science-fiction magazine.
Marvano
traces the career of German car drivers during the late '30s. The Nazi
regime subsidised manufacturers so that their research in aerodynamics
and engine power directly benefited the war effort.
Price -
£20 each.


This picture was explained by Mick Walsh - editor in chief of 'Classic
and Sports Car' magazine...
"...Hero GP journo Nigel Roebuck once
told me a story about how Bernd Rosemeyer organized a protest at the
Nazi's ruling of no kissing or displays of affection in public. Before
the '37 German GP the Auto Union star talked other drivers into stepping from cars on the grid and
seizing their wives and girlfriends in front of the main grandstand all
to loud approval from the crowd. Official Adolf Hühnlein was
outraged. "
