Authors Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges — both celebrated motoring historians — chronicle the evolution of the sports car with meticulous detail, guiding the reader through decades of engineering innovation, daring design, and high-octane competition. The volume profiles iconic marques and landmark models, illustrating how each generation of sports car pushed the boundaries of speed, aerodynamics, and mechanical ingenuity.\n\nRich in technical insight and historical context, this title from the respected Automobile Library series argues that the sports car is far more than a vehicle — it is a cultural artefact, a distillation of human ambition cast in steel and rubber. Posthumus and Hodges write with the assured authority of men who lived through the golden age of motorsport, lending the text an authenticity that dry reference works seldom achieve. Whether you are a seasoned collector, a motorsport enthusiast, or simply captivated by the romance of the open road, this volume will leave you wondering which legendary machine has yet to claim its rightful place in history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336799592667,"sku":"2026200016356-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b5982327-e432-45e8-b83c-f0358a3ff0cf.png?v=1789957830","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016356-secondhand-automobile-library-sports-cars","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
