A LIFE WITH "HWM" FROM ASTON TO VACEL VEGA BY FRED HOBBS A CRACKING FIND IN GOOD CONDITION The author spent most of his life after the war working for HW Motors, first as Works Manager and then as Works Director. Fred Hobbs was involved with many of the Cars & Personalities when Motor Sport restarted after the War and his vivid recollections of those care free days at Prescott, Brighton & Goodwood make this an interesting read This book is a personal narrative where he describes his experiences of the sports, racing and luxury cars that the company specialised in. It is well illustrated. 
There are chapters on the early days of motoring and driving from 1914 up to the 80's, but there are separate chapters on Facel Vega, Iso Rivolta, Jaguar and Bentley. A young Stirling Moss was one of the drivers for HWM and it was one of the post war British hopes along with BRM and Connaught 
Fred Hobbs recalls his driving in the 1920's and 30's before he joined HW Motors (HWM) in 1946, for whom he drove the cream of racing cars, including Alfa Romeo, Alta, Aston Martin, MG, Riley and a host of other thoroughbreds.. He was later closely involved in the importation of the Facel Vega and Iso Rivolta brands whilst continuing a life long love affair with Jaguar and Bentley. Illustrated with photographs from his private collection
