All the F1cars are here as well as the road models, hybrids like the Lotus Cortina etc. etc. Each model illustrated with studio photos of an (or in some cases THE) actual car, period brochures, memorabilia etc. etc. Superb. Hardback in excellent condition with dustwrapper which is very good apart from the fact that the yellow colour has almost faded away entirely (I've seen several copies of this book with the same effect - must have been something to do with the printers) - The book itself is pristine throughout. 12in x12in. pp.256 £45 | |

 |
1779. MOTORCYCLING PHOTOGRAPH. A wonderful photograph of the rider of a flat-tank motorcycle sidecar combination (I can't discern the make) having his licence inspected by a policeman. Clearly a posed picture but his glum, resigned expression is great! The RAC badge on the handlebars has been enhanced by retouching so I guess it was used as a press picture for them? Intriguing.. 7.5in x 5.5in original photographic print mounted on thick card. £75 |
