From Steam Carts to Minicars: A History of Motor Cars by L. E. Snellgrove is a charming 1961 historical volume published in Great Britain by Longmans. Illustrated by T. Jacques and G. Lane, this book offers a detailed overview of road transport evolution, spanning early steam-powered vehicles through to mid-20th-century economy and bubble cars.

Across nineteen chapters, the book details key developments including early steam coaches, Trevithick's experiments, the 1896 Red Flag Run, Henry Ford's mass production, and early racing landmarks like the Le Mans 24 Hour Race, Mille Miglia 1955, and the Monte Carlo Rally. Complete with its original dust jacket, this volume is a wonderful addition for collectors of vintage motoring literature and automotive history enthusiasts.
