all that is prestigious in a domain that the Italians have
made so much their own. It all started in 1904, in a small
workshop, for a young apprentice draughtsman who twenty-five
years later was to found his own company. Red cloth hardbound

Sixty Miles of
Pencil -- an
intimate impression of the brighton run --
Gentry Books Limited, 1971.
Hardbound. Book Condition: Mint/Very Good D/J Mint/Very good.
The Brighton Run is without doubt one of the most popular
outdoor events in England today. The sketches and stories in
this book capture the charm, the personality and some of the
eccentricities of sixty-three of these cars and their intrepid
drivers-and indeed every facet of the unique atmosphere of the
Brighton Run. It is to this that Roy Reynolds and Kenneth
Clark pay tribute -- to the cars themselves, and to all those
who continue the brave tradition of 'travelling hopefully'. |

THE SCHLUMPF
OBSESSION - HAMLYN -
Inside a Legendary Treasure House. They tried to stop the
distribution of this book, when it first came out, such was
the controversy surrounding this un-parrelled collection of
exotic Motor Cars, the personal museum of the brothers,
Schlumpf. Rumours were rife in the 'old car world' of cars
bought from all quarters of the World some at auction through
third parties, never to be seen again. The discovery of the
Museum was compared by the Guardian to be the equivalent of
'breaking open Tutankhamun's Tomb'. The brothers were in
business employing great numbers at a very low wage to
subsidise their extravagance. When it all came out, the lynch
mob wanted to move in. But the law intervened concerning
matters of embezzlement etc. that saw the Brothers lose
everything. Despite the outcry at the time, the dust has
settled and the Museum exists for your enjoyment and in part
pays back the poor workers for their (unbeknown to them at the
time) financial input. The book which runs to 189pp inc photos
is in V.G.C. as is its D/J. |
