great trip down memory lane

I just bought a 73 Javelin as a restoration project. Since I was 8 at the time my car was built, I wasn't really into reading car magazines at the time. It is great to read these old article about my car.

The articles are a mix of articles from the USA and Australia which I liked to see how they viewed the car down-under.

Not too many color pictures though, don't be fooled by reviews, this is 95% black and white.
Great collection of reviews and articles in colour

I was already aware that this book was a collection of reviews on Javelins & AMX, but was very pleasantly surprised that many are reproduced in colour. There are also a few nice extras like original full colour advertisements etc. For the price, I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this very nice book.
