Wrapper has edge wear and a couple of small tears and is faded in places. The story of railways in the British Isles parallels in so many ways the history of the United Kingdom since 1820.

Comprehensive and practical manual for driving and maintaining a four-wheel drive. Includes lots of pictures, diagrams and useful tips about what to do and what not to do. Also including a glossary of terms and list of useful contacts. From the cover: "Four-wheel drive is more than a way to climb a snowy driveway or escape a plowed-in parking space. Pushed hard, a good 4x4 can take a competent driver to places the pavement-bound masses could hardly imagine - up mountains, across streams, over boulders, through snow, mud, and sand. Four-wheeling brings the freedom to leave the daily toils behind and venture into the rugged wilderness. All it takes is knowledge, planning and the proper equipment." Size: Quarto.
