Description:

This book offers the reader a window into the design and manufacture of a car, in this case a handbuilt Aston Martin. It follows the machine from its birth on the drawing board to a complete and sophisticated vehicle thanks to it's makers skills ranging from precision engineering to upholstery & textiles. The book is written by Althea, well known for her books for young children which encompass both simple fun picture books to those which deal with the more difficult aspects of a child's life. Or, like this book, communicating complex technical subjects in a clear and easy to understand way. Tim Hunkin, who illustrated the book is known for his Rudiments of Wisdom column in the Observer. He brings to the illustration for this book a precise engineering eye combined with a witty observation of people.

Great to see Making a Car back in print. As a child with an interest in cars both toy and real, I read this book frequently and was endlessly fascinated by the description of the production process and the brilliant illustrations. I am sure many other young people with an interest in cars would welcome a copy of this book...
