This really is a magnificent set, I would imagine unread in all its' 80 years even the delicate colour overlays are pristine, an absolute must for the serious motor enthusiast. The book details all (I imagine) the cars of the time from Austins through Darracq and Hupmobile to Wolseley, an absolute mine of information. Obviously a very heavy item and as such will incur extra postage. (Book ref. 3504)  £250.00
