They have literally transformed our lives and had a massive impact on popular culture. The car's colourful history is revealed in a concise and informative text and beautifully evoked in the illustrations, photographs and selection of printed documents. Documents printed on the page include: Karl Benz's patent for the first motor car; Features a blueprint for a Peugeot racing chassis and Includes one of the original design drawings for the E-type Jaguar. |
