Veteran And Edwardian Motor Cars

Veteran and Edwardian Motor Cars (1955) by David Scott-Moncrieff – Published by BT Batsford Ltd

Take a spirited joyride through motoring history with Veteran and Edwardian Motor Cars, David Scott-Moncrieff’s gloriously illustrated 1955 salute to the earliest machines that rattled, steamed, and puffed their way into the modern age. From smoke-belching pioneers to elegantly fussy pre-First-World-War cruisers, this book is packed with period detail, dry British wit, and an unmistakable reverence for brass, leather, and open-air driving goggles.

Lavishly produced by BT Batsford Ltd (back when publishers knew how to do proper hardbacks), this volume is a must-have for petrolheads, tinkerers, and anyone with a soft spot for slightly terrifying vintage transport. Whether you’re researching your next restoration project or just here for the nostalgic thrill of names like Napier, De Dion-Bouton, and the mighty Stanley Steamer, this book delivers.

Our copy is... well, let’s call it “gracefully aged.” A bit foxed around the edges, possibly like some of the cars inside — but charming, complete, and ready for a new garage shelf.

Available now from Crappy Old Books – because not everything old is rubbish. Just most of it.

Nice volume, and qhilst a bit scuffed, the binding and general presentation is very tight. Good dust cover, although worn.
