Pen and Sword large format first edition hard back binding in publisher's original British racing green cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered silver back. Quarto 10'' x 8''. Once a common sight on Britain's roads, few people today seem to have heard of the Bond Minicar not a diminutive, gadget laden conveyance for the fictional 007 character, but a popular, practical, motorcycle-engined, three-wheeler that in the post-war austerity period, gave tens of thousands of people affordable personal transport at a time when conventional vehicles were beyond the reach of the average household. Yet whilst the later, mostly imported, 'Bubble cars' have remained in the public eye, it is largely forgotten that the first of the post-war 'Microcars' to go into significant production was the British designed and built Bond. Contains 307 pp with illustrations, monochrome archive and colour photographs throughout. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not price clipped, £30.00. Member of the P.B.F.A.
