Immerse yourself in the golden age of vintage motorsport with this rare and highly collectible two-book set: "Casque's Sketch Book: Motor Racing in Lighter Vein" and its sequel, "More Sketches by Casque: Racing, Rallies and Trials." Written and wonderfully illustrated by legendary Le Mans winner and automotive journalist S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis (under his famous pseudonym "Casque"), these oblong-format hardcover volumes were published in the 1930s by Iliffe and Sons, the publishers of The Autocar.

Renowned for his wit, skill, and deep involvement in the early racing scene, Davis captures the humor, challenges, mishaps, and camaraderie of pre-war racing, rallies, and trials through a delightful series of satirical cartoons and comic illustrations.
