Lotus 79 1977 onwards (all models): An insight into the design, engineering and operation of the pioneering Lotus ground-effect Formula 1 car (Owners' Workshop Manual)
Product ID: 48444552
The Lotus 79, with its classic JPS black and gold sponsorship colours, was the first F1 car to fully exploit the potential of ground-effect aerodynamics. Designed by Colin Chapman and his engineering team, the Lotus 79 dominated the 1978 World Championship, taking US driver Mario Andretti with his only F1 World Championship.

Not quite an "Owners Workshop Manual"
This is a great book if you a looking for the standard story of development and history of the Lotus 79, but putting it under the "Owners Shop Manual" makes it a very disappointing purchase. I have seen other Haynes "Manuals" that show great detail photos and drawings of all components of the subject race car. There is a lack of engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, cockpit, etc. is this book. It has great information on design, development, and history, but the "Anatomy" section is really a let down. Also, as a "Manual" the space on drivers could have been used for more detail.
