” Barristi Alirron CA Its. -1950/51,” A. 11. ‘Atkins. Foreword by Raymond Mays. (George Ronald, 2, Alfred Sireet. Orford. 128 pp., is. 6d.) ThiS is another book listing all the British proditction ears, like a sort of directory of unobtainable desirables. Unobtainable as new ears are to us, they are in big demand at in and so it is presumably at our friends overseas that his book is aimed.

Marauder, sports Cooper and Lanehester Fourteen, and has other pictures of fart:4)6es, ears anal the B.R.M. Also a list of British manufacturers’ addresses and telephone numbers (whether oversews buyers will need the latter is debatable !) and a Foreword by Raymond Mays. Criticism is confined to a sense of annoyaoce at advertisements mingled with the text and inclusion of the sports Alvis Fourteen for the new 3-litre.

are the most. prominent B.
