First edition of the second of these privately printed logs documenting the travels through Europe by the famed automobile racing enthusiast -- founder of the Vanderbilt Cup, the first major trophy in American auto racing, and avid supporter of the America's Cup yacht races. This motoring memoir begins with the Vanderbilt's travels in his one of his famed 1907 35-45 HP Renaults, which Willie K had talked the company into producing after their 1906 French Grand Prix race win with the 13-liter racing car driven by Ferenc Szisz. One of these won the Morris Park 24-Hour race in October, 1907, and subsequently one was used by Vanderbilt to trek over Europe from Liverpool to London, then onto Paris, over to Germany through the Austrian Tyrols, then into Switzerland, over to Monte Carlo, and returned to Lyons. These are followed by accounts of his travels through Spain in a 1909 55-HP Mercedes, witnessing the bull fights in Madrid, through the Spanish Countryside, and down to Seville, followed by a trip through Northern Europe which lasted until 1910. The final trip from southern France around the entire countries of Spain & Portugal in 1911 were driven in a 1911 60-HP Mercedes, fitted with a tonneau body and Michelin tires, and hood and extra trunk rack in the back. Willie K. Vanderbilt (1878-1944), was a Vanderbilt scion, served in World War I on the USS Tarantula on patrol off New York and New Jersey, and was a skilled automobile and yacht racer.
