Formatting: 4to, pp. 146.

Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy presents exceptionally well, housed in a crisp, original glossy dust jacket that exhibits only the faintest signs of superficial shelf-wear to the extremities. The binding remains perfectly tight and square, with no structural compromises or leaning to the spine. Internally, the text block is remarkably bright, clean, and entirely free of foxing or age-toning, while the leaves retain their original crispness, indicating very careful previous handling. An excellent, highly collectible example.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, issued under the Foulis Motoring Book imprint. The volume is comprehensively illustrated throughout, featuring a wealth of archival black-and-white and full-colour photographs that document the various British marques on the track.

While the title itself appears with some frequency on the secondary market, securing a copy in such sharp, unblemished condition is becoming increasingly uncommon, making it a premium addition to any dedicated motoring library.

A thorough and visually engaging historical record, British Cars at Le Mans chronicles the defining, and often dominant, role of British engineering at the world's most famous 24-hour endurance race. From the thundering Bentleys of the 1920s to the legendary victories of Jaguar and Aston Martin, Dominique Pascal meticulously details every AC, Aston Martin, Bentley, Healey, Jaguar, Lotus, MG, and Triumph to have competed at the Circuit de la Sarthe since 1923.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
