Description

In 1899 Charles Cheers Wakefield founded a lubricants company; and ten years later he launched the engine oil that would become synonymous with quality and suc-cess. The oil was Castrol, and this book tells the fascinating story of the company behind it – a story of pioneering times, of remarkable events, and of the talented men and women responsible for 100 years of achievement.

From the aviators and drivers of the earliest years to the international motorsport stars of the late 20th century, Castrol has always worked hand in hand with record-breakers and champions. Renowned for its technological developments and innovative products, the company is now the world’s leading lubrication specialist.

Beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated with more than 130 photographs – including posters, artefacts and original advertisements – from the company’s archives, The Castrol Story is a fitting tribute to the extraordinary and long-lasting vision of Castrol’s founder.
