Britain's Automotive History,
By Fan in Arizona (Kingman, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A-Z of Cars of the 20s (Hardcover)
This book is basically an encyclopedia of automobiles that were produced and sold in Great Britain during the 1920's. One chapter deals with American-made autos that were imported and sold in Britain. Each entry consists of a good quality photograph and a bare bones description of the car-- to include number of cylinders, horsepower, and engine displacement.
