The Smart Roadster – An Autobiography

The Winds of December, Cuba: 1958

by John Dorschner & Roberto Fabricio

Why steer you towards a 35-year-old book? Because Cuba is moving into our consciousness again and this book was then and still is an essential guide to understanding the US–Cuba situation. Also, the same traits that brought Castro to the fore are surely the reason he stayed in power for so long.

Goodwood: Revival, Members’ Meeting, Festival of Speed

by Knut Gielen

Any of the three Goodwood events are pretty much bucket list items. If you’ve never been, this book is a splendid way to see what it’s all about. If you have, ditto, because you couldn’t possibly have seen everything there is to see

The Road to Monaco—My Life in Motor Racing

by Howden Ganley

Antique and Classic Cars, Vol. 2

by Richard C. Wheatley & Brian Morgan
