Eroc Dymock's story begins with the formative pre-war years - the breeding ground of Le Mans in the Twenties - and then moves on to concentrate on the era of the 'modern classics'. He covers sixty international marques, revealing the personalities behind the cars, the technical qualities that made individual models unique, and then gives an authoritative person appreciation of the achievement of each car maker.

From the library of Andrew Beaumont, amateur rally driver, with address label to verso of front endpaper. Text block browned. Contents clean.
