A bit of New Zealand motoring history with this reasonably good example of Practical New Zealand Motorist Illustrated. General Editor, D. K. Thomson as per photos, (camera flash can make things look brighter & better than they are, and can change colour & shades too) Practical New Zealand Motorist Illustrated. General Editor, D. K. Thomson. Approx 240mm x 185mm odd, dust jacket is tatty. Hardback. More than 220 photographs, diagrams, explanatory drawings. Sixteen pages of colour, 30,000 words of clear, informative text. This is a complete guide for the car owner, based upon a thorough survey of his needs. It shows the motorist visually the principles by which his car works. It demonstrates the importance of each individual piece of mechanism; it gives him practical instructions how to care for his car. Very retro. The book is used and has wear & marks, faults, rips, brown spots, stains etc, and anything else you want to think of, but I think its reasonably OK for its age etc. (1950s ? going by the looks of the cars etc inside) Now, I know book people can be particularly fussy & picky, so please, have a good look at the many photos I have done to try and give a good general idea of what its like, and am trying to hide nothing. Hopefully there are enough pictures there to show you things & help you decide if it suits your purposes, whatever that may be. We allow pickups, but if you do not want to pickup, then we can send for you, on your behalf, at your risk. (couriers & PO do not cover antiques, collectables and a whole lot of other things - so again, sent at your risk) Please note the different postage options and choose the right one for your situation. (so if you are rural delivery, choose the Rural delivery option) Thanks. 1016 refN56354
