Endpaper drawings of the exterior and interior of Hopkirk’s car, the book is illustrated throughout with colour and b/w photographs and with route maps.

The book has a small child-like drawing of a car at the bottom of the rear paste-down and a previous owner’s name and date inscription to the ffep, and the front board is a little bowed, but overall the book is in VG condition. A scarce book to find signed.
