Review:
amusing, informative and beautifully illustrated * Classic Cars * Peter Thorold's book is a well-researched anecdotal account of most areas of the motor car's influence in the period leading up to the Second World War. * The Independent on Sunday * a witty and engrossing ride ... This book will make you glad you hopped on board * Good Book Guide * compact, well-sprung and nippy * Daily Telegraph * Thorold's impressively well-grounded yet enormously enjoyable history reveals the remarkable impact the automobile had on our country and our lives. -- Michael Kerrigan * The Scotsman *
