hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Publication: London, Iliffe & Sons Ltd., 1947 Formatting: 4to, multiple weekly magazine issues bound as a single half-year volume. Condition Report: Very Good. The volume is tightly bound in its blue cloth boards, exhibiting only minor shelf-wear and light bumping to the spine ends. The spine itself shows noticeable sunning and fading compared to the brighter front and rear panels, though the gilt tooling remains perfectly legible. Internally, the pages present with typical, even age-toning and very occasional light spotting. The text block is robust, the hinges are perfectly sound, and the pages are free from any major tears or creases. The individual issues have been bound without their original wrappers, which is standard practice for mid-century reference compilations of this type, resulting in a neat, solid reading copy. Catalogue Note: This is a bound half-year volume of The Autocar magazine, comprising the weekly issues spanning January 3 through June 27, 1947 (Volume XCII). Produced immediately following the Second World War, the issues are profusely illustrated with period photographs, highly detailed technical diagrams, and the celebrated cut-away technical drawings synonymous with the publication's history. Such post-war bound editions are increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly in sturdy, unbroken bindings. As paper rationing and post-war austerity measures were still largely in effect during 1947, these comprehensive bound records were typically retained by working garages, specialist libraries, or dedicated motoring clubs, making surviving intact copies highly prized by classic automotive historians and restorers. A fascinating primary source offering a window into the British motoring industry immediately following the Second World War. This bound half-year volume of The Autocar captures the resilience and innovation of the 1947 automotive landscape, featuring detailed road tests of early post-war models, deep-dive technical discussions, motorsport news, and glimpses into a market navigating supply shortages and renewed global competition. An essential and evocative addition to any serious classic car enthusiast's reference library. N/A (illustrator).…

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Iliffe & Sons Ltd., 1947 Formatting: 4to, continuously paginated (pp. 559 onwards), bound without original wrappers. Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in smart blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, the book presents exceptionally well for a heavy, utilitarian periodical of this age. The boards remain crisp and clean, exhibiting only minor scuffing and negligible shelf-wear to the extremities. The spine displays noticeable sunning, a common feature for volumes historically housed on sunlit reference shelves, yet the gilt titling remains perfectly legible and reasonably bright. Crucially for a bound volume of this size, the binding remains remarkably tight, square, and structurally robust, showing no signs of the sagging or hinge-splitting that frequently plagues heavy compendiums. The text-block edges are lightly age-toned but largely free from spotting. Internally, the pages are delightfully clean, bright, and crisp, bearing only the faintest age-related toning. As is customary for library or reference bindings of this era, the individual weekly paper wrappers have been omitted to streamline the text. Overall, a highly attractive and solidly preserved copy. Catalogue Note: First edition thus; a highly desirable bound volume comprising the complete run of The Autocar magazine for the second half of 1947 (Volume XCII). Published weekly, this compendium gathers every issue from July 4th through to the end of December, offering an unbroken, primary-source chronicle of British motoring history during the pivotal post-war period. Profusely illustrated with period photography, technical diagrams, and evocative advertisements, the volume serves as an immersive resource for the automotive historian. The book has been professionally bound in a durable blue cloth, omitting the outer paper wrappers of the individual magazines, a standard contemporary practice designed to create a streamlined, robust reference work for private collections or motoring clubs. Complete, well-preserved half-year runs of The Autocar from the 1940s are increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly in such structurally sound condition, as many were historically subjected to heavy workshop or reference use. It stands as an indispensable artefact for the study of mid-twentieth-century motoring culture, technical innovation, and the early resurgence of motorsport. Step back into the golden age of motoring with this original bound volume of The Autocar, charting the complete second half of 1947. Emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, the British automotive industry of 1947 was a hotbed of rapid development, restricted model ranges, and a fierce desire to return to the racetrack. This exceptional volume chronicles it all, from the latest showroom announcements and highly detailed technical deep-dives to thrilling, on-the-ground reports from the Grand Prix of Europe and regional seaside sprints. Packed with rich period photography, intricate engineering cutaways, and the palpable excitement of a world getting back on the road, it is a magnificent time capsule for any classic car aficionado or mechanical historian.
