The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car: Everything you wanted to know about cars and some things you probably didn’t

by HarperCollins (Editor)

Did you know there are over 47,000 facts in the world?* And the good news is, many of them are in this book. That’s right, The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car is the only reference guide you need for cars, driving and all related matters, especially if you’re not too fussed about those facts being accurate.

In this lavishly tooled book you will find a rich and satisfying collection of motor-related informations from the origins of Porsche and the fate of Lada to the dark history of the Wankel engine and the correct name for those weird little hairs on new tyres.

Throughout the book, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are on hand to share their knowledge and wisdom, and then we’ve made the pictures bigger to fill in the gaps around it.

If you want to impress your friends, and then annoy your friends, and then cause your friends to think “Oh God, now they’re telling us about the slightly ironic way in which the founder of MG died” before hurriedly leaving your house, possibly forever, The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car is the book for you.

The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car – literally bursting with facts!**

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Found this really funny and reminiscent of everything I loved/love about the old Top Gear whilst still being surprising informative about popular car makers and the people who engineered pioneering things on modern cars that we take for granted.
