Like most inventions of the last hundred years the motor car is essentially utilitarian, yet it has gathered for itself more romance and nostalgia than any similar invention. Since the second world war its history has attracted the attention of many writers both scholarly and popular, and it might seem that there was little new that could be said on the subject. However with this beautiful book one feels that John Plummer and his publishers have produced a work which is fresh in its approach, authoritative and easy to read, and very attractive to look at. For older readers who remember seeing and driving these fine cars, and the younger generation who want to capture the atmosphere of a past age.
