About This Item
Isle of Man : Oxley-Sidey , 1988 . First edition. Cloth. Fine/Very Good. 10" by 7.5" . Not Stated. An incredibly well presented and illustrated first edition copy of the history of one of Britain's rarest and bespoke car manufacturers. A history of Bristol, a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars that were built with little to no regard of conventions of modern industry. The Bristol car was a bespoke vehicle for the few. Since the writing of this book Bristol has entered liquidation, but this book provides insight into when the company was thriving and creating bold, rule-breaking cars. Charles Oxley co-founded the Bristol Owners' Club. Including illustrations throughout the text. In the original unclipped dustwrapper. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very well presented. Internally, firmly bound with bright clean pages. In the original unclipped dustwrapper. Some marks to the rear and front wraps and some bumping to the spine and fading to the joints. Fine
