THE GUINNESS BOOK OF CAR FACTS AND FEATS

Edited by Anthony Harding

Guinness Superlatives 1977

This book is a unique compendium of motoring facts, feats and statistics compiled by a team of acknowledged authorities for the amusement and instruction of every car owner and driver, as well as for the motor racing enthusiast and automobile historian

It is an invaluable source of automotive reference in which will be found a comprehensive and diverse collection of information, ranging from the racing driver who has won more Grands Prix than any other, and the fastest lap ever achieved on a road-racing circuit (by whom, driving what and where, up to 1977), to the production car which first employed a fully-automatic transmission, the most successful lady rally driver, to the time and place of the first roadside petrol pumps, and the location of that celebrated motor sporting venue, the corkscrew hillclimb!

Apart from the fact that the dust jacket has been price clipped and some very slight, light tinting to the outer page edges (almost imperceptible), both the book and the dust jacket are in very good condition.

The book is illustrated in both colour and black and white and is an absorbing read, difficult to put down.
