any good books you know of besides the Autopia eBook that relate more specifically to concours/show events and preparing for them? |
A huge part of concours for older cars is authenticity.
There are a series of books called "Original Restorers Guides" that are fantastic photo books dedicated to specific models of cars. One would be on the Jag 150 or the BMW 325 or the Porsche Carrera, etc. They are filled with hundreds of incredible detailed color photographs. One photo might just be of the trunk area detailing the jack and tool kit, for example. And another might show the right side of the engine really close up so you can make out all the bolt heads and wire connections and read all the labels. There might be dozens of pics of the engine. Judges will study these for authenticity. And you can be sure these are correct.
I must confess I am more versed on foreign cars so I would appreciate it if someone could chime in on domestic cars. (I know there are huge followings for Mustangs, Mopar, Vette's, etc)
As far as preparing for concours events...I have not seen any books. Maybe that's something we should discuss.
Lets come up with some topics.
