Automotive

The Automotive shelf is for the motoring enthusiast, from marque histories and motorsport to the practical workshop and repair manuals restorers rely on. Titles run from Grand Prix Driver to original owner's workshop manuals like the Ford Cortina Mk I.
Older manuals and motorsport titles are genuinely collectible and often hard to find. Each is a real book, described by its true condition, and shipped within South Africa and worldwide. Browse below, or message Rob if you have motoring books or manuals to sell.
