Description

Here is one of the most comprehensive and informative collections of motoring pictures ever assembled in one book, with over 1000 illustrations including photographs and original artwork, both in colour and black and white.

The evolution of the car and of motoring is surveyed by an acknowledged expert who, with authoritative captions to the illustrations, covers developments from the pioneer horseless carriages of the 19th century to the mass-produced models of the 1980s.

Motor racing, record breaking and rallying are also covered, from the primitive events of the 1890s to the big business world championship grands prix of today.
The history of the automobile is described in broad outline and in detail – the events which determined the shape of one of the world’s major industries are traced while many of the more famous, and infamous, cars are recalled.

Hardback in generally very good condition for age, slight spotting to page edges in places, with good dust jacket, minor scuffs, now in clear protective cover.
