A Small Guidebook,
By TR3 Enthusiast (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Illustrated Directory of Classic Cars (Paperback)
This directory of classic cars, with its colour pictures, resembles a birdbook in size and shape, and provides a short overview on over 185 cars. A good value for the generalist.
