A-Z British Sports & Thoroughbred Motor Cars: 1919-1939

The period between the two World Wars saw advances in car design going forward in leaps and bounds. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes, overhead valves, independent front suspension, pressure lubrication, synchromesh gears, even wind-up windows, were some of the major developments brought to car manufacture during these twenty years. This book provides encyclopaedic coverage of more than 300 models from some 100 makers, all of them either open sports or high-performance cars. Every entry is illustrated with black and white archive photos.
