Published by The Manx Experience. 1st 1996. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

Without them, the modern car would never have developed as fast as it did. Large format. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour frontis. B/w photos throughout. 173 pages. ISBN: 1873120613. Spine & corners bumped. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is scuffed to rear panel.
