Description

Motoring journalist Martin Gurdon’s warm, funny, sometimes moving look back at an occasionally dysfunctional 1960s and ‘70s car-obsessed childhood. It’s a rights of passage on wheels.

This is a book about growing up and how an abiding interest can shape a life, and is written for car fans and car agnostics alike.

An Estate Car Named Desire is filled with an eccentric cast of wheeled and human characters, and even reveals how Martin’s dad’s Jowett Javelin inspired the famous Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch.

£9.99 including postage and packing to an UK address.
