Service Rating:
I was born in 1933 so I can remember seeing most to the British and European cars and a neighbour whose daughter had married a G.I used to give me the American papers she sent to her mother which contained adverts for many American cars, so reading this was really great for me. The pictures are excellent and the descriptions much better than I was anticipating. A really great book.
