Hi All, I found something the other day at an automotive flea market. I was actually looking for parts for my 1948 M-47 Mercury pickup ( didn't find anything ! ). It's a small yellow, ( 7.5 inches by 5 inches ) hard cover book. It was first published in 1921 by Purnell and Sons Ltd Paulton ( Somerset ) and London.It was published in association with "The MOTOR ". It looks like lots of neat reading. Can anyone shed some light on this book ? This is the 12th edition. Thanks GregTC8008

I bought some Newnes sets from the 30's at a church sale in England four years ago. They have all sorts of pull out sheets and illustrative cards for various cars. I couldn't bear to break the sets up! Best Regards, Ray "Remember- It's the collision with the planet that counts!"
