Stock no. 1829003
Published by The Manx Experience.
1st
1996.
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
The automobile of today owes much to what happened on a small island between 1904 and 1922. The challenge came in racing over the most testing course imaginable. Adventurous, exciting and testing days: an era of risk-taking over rutted, muddy roads that exposed the host island to condemnation as 'The Isle of Manslaughter.' Without them, the modern car would never have developed as fast as it did. Large format. Green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour frontis. B/w photos throughout. 173 pages. ISBN: 1873120613. Spine & corners bumped. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is scuffed to rear panel.
