Penguin 1st Edition, published 1960.
Intended as a general guide to the working of the motor car; it is written with sparing use of technical terms so that it is particularly suitable for the use of automobile apprentices, as a basis for the more specialised knowledge to be acquired later, and for the motorist who is simply interested in knowing more about how his car works. There are chapters describing the basic layout of the car, the internal combustion engine in detail, the fuel, exhaust, lubrication, and cooling systems, power transmission, the chassis, breaking system, and coachwork.
Condition grading: Good. Bright covers. Some foxing and marks to left edge of front cover. Some foxing to rear cover. Very minor wear to spine ends. Pen name and date to title page. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
