ISBN: COLLAGEDELUXE

Limited to just 1,500 signed and numbered copies, with a foreword by His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco, Collage is a celebration of the career of the one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, Sir Jackie Stewart.

Leather-bound in Scotland by craft bookbinders, Collage is a critically acclaimed account of an incredible motor racing career, as told in Sir Jackie Stewart’s own words and through the archive of the Stewart family albums. A wealth of unseen photographs, press cuttings, pit passes and memorabilia bring to life Stewart’s historic decade in Formula One racing.

This Deluxe binding is sold out overseas.

Collage begins with Sir Jackie’s early sports car and Formula Three races and culminates in his retirement after winning a third world championship in 1973.

In between times was a relentlessly high-octane career that included racing in Formula One, Two and Three – often simultaneously – Le Mans, CanAm, the Indianapolis 500 twice and two eventful Tasman Series. He chalked up 27 Grand Prix victories in 99 starts, was awarded an OBE and, in 1966, suffered a near-fatal crash that led to him becoming a pioneering campaigner for improved driver safety.

‘Between 1968 and 1973 there was a two-in-three chance I was going to die. I thought that was wrong so I went about trying to change it fairly vigorously. It was highly irregular for a driver to be speaking out about safety but in my opinion it’s the biggest contribution I made to motor sport – much more so than winning three world championships.’ – Sir Jackie Stewart

There were also film premieres, trips on ocean liners, the birth of his two children and even a royal wedding. The triumphs and losses were documented extensively by Lady Helen and are now narrated by Sir Jackie Stewart in over 200 beautifully-reproduced pages with an introduction from His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco.

‘These pages offer glimpses of a life that ended for me over three decades ago, a life that contained loss and sadness as well as the euphoria of success.’ – Sir Jackie Stewart
