9780749574710: Auto Biography: British Motoring from Golden Age to Gridlock

Synopsis

Growing up in the 1950s, and now wondering whether he wouldn't be better off getting a free bus pass, Mark's life, told through the cars he's owned, is also the story of Britain seen from the driving seat. His 'auto' biography takes us on a warm, funny and nostalgic journey through the decades - from his family buying a car for the first time, through carwashing for a bob-a-job, to becoming a car owner himself, with his battered Ford Escort (constantly stolen), and his Triumph Vitesse (constantly renovated). These memories of motoring, from golden age to gridlock, will spark more than a trace of affection for the cars we've owned, sworn at, and loved.This hardback book has 288 pages and measures: 22.5 x 14 x 2.5cm.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. British motoring, from golden age to gridlock. A history of Britain from the driving seat.

With chapters based around cars that have symbolised each motoring era, author Mark Wallington uses his own personal memories and the cars he owned to create a wonderfully nostalgic portrait of Britain on the road. Growing up in the golden era of driving in the 1950s, and getting ready for his free bus pass in the environmental concerns of today, Mark's own life story echoes this fascinating historical journey. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005369788
