"
A dynamic post-war celebration of motor engineering, The Modern World Book of Motors by Laurence H. Cade surveys the evolution and triumph of automotive technology at the height of Britain's motoring enthusiasm. Richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and diagrams, it explores the world of cars, motor racing, and engineering innovation, including the design and performance of racing vehicles, motorbikes, and commercial transport. Cade's clear and engaging text reflects the optimism of the late 1940s, when motoring symbolised progress and freedom in a modern, rebuilding world.
Published by Sampson Low, Marston & Co. in 1949, the book combines technical insight with a sense of adventure, featuring period imagery such as Silverstone race days and early circuit racing scenes. Its bold dust-jacket artwork of speeding grand prix cars perfectly captures the excitement of the era. A fine addition for collectors of vintage motoring literature, post-war transport history, and enthusiasts of classic British racing culture."
