The Story of the Car by Peter Roberts

This splendidly written and illustrated book captures the magic of the car as it traces the history of the automobile from its very first appearance more than 80 years ago to the latest computer-designed model. Whether a status-symbol, sports car or mass produced mode of transport, the car has become essential to our existence. This book examines how its look, performance and role has changed over the decades and pays special tribute to visionaries such as Benz, Daimler, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce and Ford whose names are now synonymous with the glamour and power for this truly international industry.
