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).…
