Is this a complete run or did they manage more? Nicely printed with thick card covers. A4 format. pp.32 /36 as a set of two issues. £12 |
| 2058. WAVES WHEELS WINGS- AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. SIR WALTER WINDHAM. Originally a sailor, the author joined the Royal Indian Marine, later becoming a King's Messenger. He was an eminent pioneer motorist, officiating at the first ever Irish T.T. and early aviator, founding the British Aeroplane Club and doing much to secure the strength of the RAF by the outbreak of WW2. Several illustrations including this rather fanciful depiction of a Spitfire downing an HE 111. Ex-lib hardback without dustwrapper but in good condition. No year but some time after 1940. 5.5in x 8.5in pp. 166 £50 |
| 2056. W.O. THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF W.O. BENTLEY. 1958 first edition of 'W.O's autobiography. Effectively a history of the heydey of the 'Bentley Boys' told by the man who was at the centre of it all.

no.2042. THE GRAND PRIX CAR. The rare two-volume set of Pomeroy's classic and respected tomes on Grand Prix cars and races up to the mid-1950s. Superb technical descriptions and the famous fold-out cutaways, technical drawings, photographs etc. Still the most exhaustive coverage of the subject. Fold-out cutaways extend to 11in x 17in and include the 1914 Grand Prix Mercedes, Type 35 Bugatti, Delage, Peugeot etc. Large format 11in x 8.5in. The publication dates differ because Pomeroy wrote his first book in 1948 ("The Grand Prix Car 1906-1939') and when Grand Prix racing began again after WW2 it became obvious that he should update, but enlarging such a big volume was not an option. It was divided and published again as the updated two-volume set as offered here. The volumes were (for some misguided reason) offered separately, and as most people thought they already had vol. 1 they just bought vol.2 so the reprint runs immediately became unbalanced. The original single 1948 volume referred to above is a fine book but this is the set to have.
This matched set (both volumes inscribed "Best wishes, Valerie, Christmas 1957") is in good condition with both volumes retaining their dustwrappers, which have a few tears (almost inevitable in such big heavy books) but they are now protected from further damage by removable clear plastic sleeves. The inside pages are excellent: clean and unmarked. Email me for more information and photos. 8.5in two-volume set. pp. 267 + 344 £400 |

| 1747. BRDC / SILVERSTONE PLAQUE. Like the paperweight above this was produced to celebrate Silverstone's 50th anniversary in 1998, though I'm not quite sure what it's for.
