Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
The story of TVR, one of Britain's best-known specialist car manufacturers, is one of triumph over extreme and persistent adversity, for few if any other companies in modern times can have endured so many crises along the path to financial security. A fascinating pictorial path from the first kit cars to the TVRs of the late 1980s. Second edition. Oblong format. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 144 pages. ISBN: 0947981179. Couple of corners are lightly bumped. Small mark to top edge of front cover. Pale page edge browning and minor foxing to top edge, else contents are excellent. Dustwrapper is edge-creased and has publisher's price label to rear panel.
