2nd hand book, good condition, see images

Journey back to the dawn of motorized transport with the highly collectible historical directory A Source Book of Veteran Cars by the world-renowned automotive authority G. N. Georgano. Published by Ward Lock Limited in 1974 as part of their acclaimed Source Book series, this scarce landscape-format hardcover serves as an exceptional archival overview of pioneering automotive engineering spanning from the late 19th century up to 1904.

The striking dust jacket features a beautiful, crisp color photograph of an impeccably preserved green and yellow 1904 Renault two-seater tourer parked on a rustic country lane. Inside, this comprehensive reference handbook is richly illustrated with over a hundred historic monochrome photographs and period advertisements. Meticulously detailing early experimental marques, steam carriages, and the first production combustion engines from legends like Benz, Daimler, De Dion-Bouton, Peugeot, and Oldsmobile, this book is an indispensable treasure for antique automobile historians, London-to-Brighton Run enthusiasts, and collectors of vintage transport literature.
