This book relates the life and career of a truly exceptional British automotive engineer.

Having joined Aston Martin in 1949, Edward 'Ted' Cutting worked on some of the company's most iconic cars, including the DB3S, DBR1 and the Project racing cars.

His name is inextricably linked to that of other legendary characters such as David Brown and John Wyer.

The book is a compendium of many published, and some un-published articles, interviews, photographs and technical information, providing a fascinating insight in the life and times of this extraordinary engineer.

The book in hard cover comes with a DVD (an illustrated talk given to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers by E.J. Cutting on 16 April, 2003).
