What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

Brooklands, situated in Surrey, England, opened in 1907 and was the world's first purpose built 'banked' racing circuit. It held its final race in 1939 and now hosts Brooklands Museum, which opened in 1991 and specialises in motoring and aviation. This history takes the form of a story, detailing Brooklands in its glory.

Contains a foreword from HRH the Prince of Wales, Edward VIII, who was Patron of Brooklands Automobile Racing Club and later crowned King in 1936 before abdicating the throne to his brother, George VI.

Includes a number of full plate illustrations.

Condition

In a full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, some chipping to the head of the spine and fading to the spine. Gift inscription dated December 25th 1933, 'Wishing you a prosperous New Year from Nancy'. Internally firmly bound, pages bright and clean bar the odd spot.
