A scarce survey of the world's greatest cars built between 1920 and the mid-'60s. The vehicles

Black boards with a stunning pattern of silver, gilded historic car badges; silver gilded text on spine. Price-clipped jacket has light scuffing along the top and a tiny nick where it meets the head of the spine at the back. There are also some light scratches that are only visible under direct light. Were it not for some sporadic foxing, the pages would've been in superb condition. As it is, they are crease-free and remain crisp and bright. Measures 30 cm × 22 cm (12″ × 8.8″).
