Nice collection Rick. I very rarely come into this part of the forum so have missed this post but like you I collect motoring related books and magazines.
I have thousands, I'll take a few pic's and post them on here later. |

Hi
Just been watching a big book with fold out diagrams of vintage cars, on ebay, but have just over the last hour or two, begun to feel a bit ill, achey and a big head ache, so sitting in the dark, picked the laptop up, just remembering the book, and it had thankfully gone for more than I wanted to spend.
Was saved that time!
Going to go and sleep for 20mins before I have to drive to Shrewsbury!
Cheers

I don't have many really old books as most of my interest is in the 1920s and '30s. My oldest is probably a 1914 edition of the Contour Road Map of Britain which gives nice little cross sections of principal routes showing the steepness of hills.
Apart from the '20s and '30s I do like some of these sets of books that give very fundamental engineering information on straightening chassis and con rods and everything else that was done to maintain the crumbling vehicle stock that Britain had just post war. All tasks executed by the local garage or blacksmiths.
