"Here is a delightful first-person account of a ten-year venture into the searching for, finding, buying, restoring, and exhbiting of fourteen finicky vintage mortorcars - a venture highlighted by humor, pain, joy, nostalgia, and much hard work. Adventures of a Vintage Car Collector is prize-winning, collector-restorer Alan L. Radcliff's personal recollections of his experiences, augmented by his wife's views of the same events, from the purchase of their first auto for their collection in 1962 to the latest great and rare find of 1971. The Radcliff's recount honestly and humorously how they began as naive purchasers and over-confident, inexperienced show-enterers, then graduated to the world of serious restoration and competition, and finally learned to find a balance between the search for perfection and the desire to enjoy their cars "just for fun." Their education as would-be restorers included the necessary supervision of dismantling, re-upholstering, painting, and the like by professionals plus their own essential, meticulous, and nail-breaking finishing touches. We learn of searches for tiny nuts, bolts, and screws; of tops that should fit but don't, and side-curtains that invite deluges to enter; of devoted friends who labor all night before a show to help ready a car; and of the shows themselves - Local, Regional, and National - the computation of points, the sometimes impossible judges, the endless banquets, and the thrills of earning top awards, as well as the disappointment of not winning at all. The difference between restored autos and replicas is described, emphasizing the devotion and patience lavished by car restorers on the fast-disappearing authentic classic automobile. We even learn about the various personalities the Radcliff cars seem to have. One adventure involves the unexpected buying of not one but a "brace of racers" in London; another culminates - after a long, far-flung, and frustrating search - in finding a special Rolls practically in his own backyard, curing the author at the same time of his "Radcliff syndrome." The cars involved in these adventures run the gamut of the vintage category, and include a 1925 Red Label Bentley 3 liter tourer; a 1927 Rolls Royce Phantom I Special Phaeton; two small 4-seater British tourers: a 1932 MG-K Magnette, and a roaring 1934 Aston-Martin; three famous 1936 models: a 4.3 liter "One-Off" Alvis roadster, a 4.5 liter Lagonda open tourer, and an Auburn '852' boattail Speedster; and a 1939 BMW '327' convertible, among others, including a racy diversion with a 1967 Lamborghini 400 GT 2-2, a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC, and a 1966 Excalibur. Adventures of a Vintage Car Collector is designed not only for the vintage car hobbyist, but also for the delight of the general reader and to answer the big question in his mind, "What's this vintage car hobby all about, anyway?" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
