Description

The book brings out in full the adventure and romance that is possible for those who take a car to foreign parts travelling wherever the whim takes them during the late forties – an interesting glimpse of a former era.

Minchin witnessed the Paris-Madrid race in 1903 that brought the end to town-to-town races after numerous fatal accidents, he acted as Best Man to his friend Malcolm Campbell at his first wedding, he owned and drove many wonderful cars from the early Veterans through to Derby Bentley’s in the 40s, watched motor racing at Brooklands and on the continent and seems to have known everyone of interest in the sport and in motoring generally !

1950 first edition. Hardback is in generally very good condition for age inside, clean and bright.  Mauve boards have some minor bumping to corners and sunning to spine and some edges. Good readable copy. No dust jacket.
