Delve into the fascinating world of custom-built racing cars with "Specials" by renowned motorsport journalist and racing driver John Bolster. This third edition offers an authoritative and deeply personal look at the design, engineering, and home-built ingenuity behind some of the most famous special-built motor racing, hillclimb, and trials vehicles.

Richly detailed with technical insight, historic background, and vintage black-and-white photographs—including Bolster's famous "Bloody Mary"—this classic volume is an indispensable reference for vintage car enthusiasts, historic motorsport restorers, and collectors of vintage automotive literature.
