After a varied career in the automotive industry Graham Robson has gained a worldwide reputation as a motoring historian, and has nearly 170 books to his credit.Born in 1936, and educated at Ermysteds Grammar School in Yorkshire, Graham then went on to study Engineering at Oxford University. He joined Jaguar Cars as a graduate trainee, becoming involved in design work on the Mk II, E-Type and Mark X. Beginning as a hobby, he became a rally co-driver, eventually joining the Sunbeam 'works' team in 1961, taking part in rallies up to International level (once with Roger Clark), but stopped rallying by 1968.During this time he joined Standard-Triumph in Coventry, in 1961, as a Development Engineer, mainly on sports car projects. He then ran the re-opened 'works' motorsport department from 1962 to 1965, this being the period of the birth of Spitfire Le Mans cars, TR4, Vitesse, Spitfire and 2000 rally car developments.Graham Robson’s writing began with rally reports for magazines which evolved into a job with Autocar from 1965-1969. He was recruited back to industry at Rootes to run the Product Proving department, then after a brief period in 1972 as technical director of a safety belt company, became an independent motoring writer. Graham has lived 'by the pen' and 'by the voice' ever since, not only writing but commentating, presenting and organising events of all types.

BMW M3-M4 is a very worthwhile addition to the marque library - Kieron Fennelly --- It's a typically comprehensive read, with a great set of specification tables in the back, too. - Octane (UK) --- this is an impressive and most readable work on the subject of a significant car .. For those considering buying an M3, already owning one, or merely an admirer, this is probably the definitive work. - Speedscene --- this is a really comprehensive guide to a German icon. - CAR magazine --- More than simply a run-through, it’s well designed and weightily produced. - Classic & Sports Car
