Stanley Paul., London, 1987. Paper Covered Boards. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 10 1/4" x 14 3/4". pp: 253. Illustrated with over 700 photographs, 300 of which are in color. A lavishly illustrated history of motor sport from the primitive monsters of the 1880s to today's ground-hugging powerhouses. It covers not only track and road racing, but rallying and hill climbs as well. One of the best photographs is of a race from about 1908, with the passenger/mechanic hanging on for dear life while clutching a spare tire. Definitely a book for the racing fan to linger over.
