    Default My first book of motoring

    We've just had some family mementos shipped from the uk and among them is a book that belonged to my grandfather, Motors and Motoring. Published 1905 and he signed it in 1909. I assume he got it when the bloke he worked for changed over from horses to cars. Note the 'modern' car.

    Somewhere in the family there is a photo of him driving a Lanchester not much more modern than the Napier. It would be around 1910.
