1653. 'ASTON'
The Journal of the Aston Martin Heritage Trust. Vol. 1 No.1. The
inauguaral issue of this superb publication which is highly collectable.
It feels more like a large format book. Articles include The Maggis and
the Mille Miglia, Stirling Moss, Carroll Shelby, BRM, Chitty Bang Bang,
Lady drivers, Rudyard Kipling etc. etc. If you're wondering where the cars
are on the (rather dull) cover, they are on the back! No date but I think
it's from about 1996. Excellent condition. 8in x 10.5in pp.88 £25 |
