MEARLy 400 of the 1,000 pages in 1 I Motor Specifications and Prices, 1963, are devoted to goods and passenger vehicles built between 1951 and the present time. A comprehensive list of makes and models is included in this reference book which is published by Stone and Cox Ltd., 44 Fleet Street, London, E.C.4, at £1 I Is. 4d. post free.
The book is intended primarily for use by insurance companies and because of this gives only brief details of each model, including engine size, type and power output, chassis weight, payload and maximum permissible gross weight, wheelbase and tyre size. The original price is given in many cases.
There is also a section dealing with electric vehicles built since 1943 and here the information given includes range and battery details in place of engine figures. Further sections list cars, motor cycles and farm tractors.
