著者ご挨拶
今回スポーティーガレージの10周年に伴い、メモリアル的な大判書籍を個人発行させて頂く運びとなりました。
これまで本国でもあまり現存しない50年代・60年代に寄せたレストアのオーダーを頂き、ビンテージのスポーツスターやサイドバルブエンジンのKモデルの造形にも深く入り込めたと思います。
それら過去に仕上げた車両の中から初期ラグフレームが大変美しいKモデルやビンテージスポーツスターを厳選し、私がリスペクトする所縁あるHDショップオーナー様の愛機も迎えて合計36台のビンテージ車両を撮影。
オリジナルレストアの車両に加え、往年のRacerスタイル、カスタム車両がまるで海外に佇んでいるかの様な洋書風書籍を目指しました。
ビンテージのスポーツスターが現代で織りなす個性的な魅力や往年のレストアを踏襲したルールを自分なりに各車両に盛り込んでいます。
さらに、コンペディション車両への想いや、感性で仕上げたオリジナルに相反するカスタム車両を是非お手にとってご覧頂ければ幸いです。
