A Historical survey of the progress of Britain's Motor Industry from 1896 to 1946. An essential item in every Motor Library as a reminder of a real success story that we were as a country enjoying, despite the horrors of two World Wars stopping production of cars for 10 years whilst dedicated to the War Effort in the first half century covered in these chapters. Many photos in addition to excellent text. The book appears to be leather bound with Gilt Emboss but the spine has been damaged and now sports black tape to cover this up Priced to refelct this.
