Leyton House to Feature in "The Art of F1"
The Leyton House has been chosen as one of only a handful of cars to feature in a new book by renowned automotive photographer James Mann. The Art of F1, due to be published in Spring 2010 by Motorbooks International, will showcase some of the most iconic, beautiful and significant Grand Prix designs from 1950 to the present.
James, who is photographer to Classic and Sportscar and author of "How to Photograph Cars" shot the Leyton House at the Junction 11 studios in Banbury in April and has kindly sent us a selection of shots that show what to expect and some insight as to how the results were achieved. It was a fascinating process to watch and we are all very excited to see the finished product. Please visit www.jamesmann.com for more.
