[edit] 'DAILY TELEGRAPH' HONEST JOHN'S MYSTERY MOTORS
This collection presents the pictures and known details of many unidentified cars sent by readers to Honest John, the motoring agony uncle for 'The Daily Telegraph'. With the help of a variety of experts, Honest John rescues from anonymity as many as he can, and tells their stories.
This enjoyable collection presents the pictures and known details of many unidentified cars sent to Honest John by readers of his hugely popular Motoring Agony column in The Daily Telegraph. With the help of a variety of experts, Honest John rescues from anonymity as many as he can, and tells their stories - they range from the humble and unassuming to quite extraordinary and ingenious creations. Incredibly, many of the cars pictured continue to defy identification - a fascinating challenge to the reader! The book offers an overview of the history of motoring, from the earliest days, when a vehicle had to be preceded on foot by somebody displaying a red flag - which was the very first car to have been built in Britain? - right up to the present day. Over the years Honest John has helped identify cars ranging from a 1913 Astro-Damler updated to appear post-war, a 1903 Vauxhall - one of only 40 manufactured -, a honeymoon vehicle in Indonesia in 1928 and the first British car to win the Monte Carlo Rally. He has been confused by cars disguised as other cars for use in films such as Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines and a car owned by a rubber planter in Malaya in the early 1920s.
