Vintage & Classic Car book reviews.
Since the earliest motor-cars spluttered onto our roads, scattering horse-drawn carriages and cyclists in their wake, there have been publications available, explaining the innermost workings of the combustion engine, and the chassis they were strapped into. Initially the non-motorist saw the motorcar as an evil of modern times, churning up the unmade road surfaces, and leaving a cloud of dust and smoke hovering over their wheel tracks, as they sped by at a terrifying pace. Gradually, as more people read about, and began to understand, the advantages that the mechanised chariot could offer, so too the uptake of motor vehicles large and small increased.

This section of the site will review some of the books that have been published about cars and other forms of transport, since the earliest days of motoring. It will also look at more recent publications that focus on the history of the motor-car, motor racing, or elements of the motor trade. If other forms of car literature are of interest, then maybe this intro to collecting different types of motoring literature as a hobby, may be of interest also.
