First edition.
“This racily written work covers the more sensational side of motoring history since the first appearance of cars on the roads until the present time. All the most celebrated figures in the motoring world appear in its pages; races, hill-climbs, hairbreadth escapes and tragedies all are described vividly and dramatically, while such essential technicalities as the young enthusiast insists upon are supplied with an expert's touch. It has 32 pages of illustrations from photographs”.
