The Porsche Art Book

by Edwin Baaske (Editor)

Bugatti: Le Pur-Sang des Automobiles

by H.G. Conway

A landmark book, not just for the marque but in the genre of automotive histories. In the 50 years since its original publication it has lost none of its luster and is, thankfully, still easily available in any of its several editions.

by Matthew Vale

Those models did keep the company afloat and sort of solvent during trying times. This book is meant to be a tribute, an homage and fields many good reasons for appreciating the thinking behind them.
