THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Title: The Autocar Handbook- A guide to the Motor CarDescription: The Autocar Handbook: A Guide to the Motor Car (Tenth Edition) is a classic piece of automotive literature, originally published around 1925. It serves as a fascinating time capsule from the "Vintage Era" of motoring, documenting a period when car ownership transitioned from a high-stakes hobby for the wealthy to a more accessible (though still complex) mode of transport. By the tenth edition, the automobile had moved past its "horseless carriage" infancy. However, cars were far from the "turn-key" appliances we have today. This handbook was an essential survival guide for the owner-driver who was expected to be their own mechanic, navigator, and troubleshooter.
