The majority of mine in this genre are motor racing related. Like the look of the stuff on BMC / A-series engines tho

Most of my car books are about cars themselves or about car engineering in some fashion.

Have to admit, my stuff is pretty eclectic. Have a bunch on race car engineering / composites, a lot of driver biographies, books on specific topics that have / do pique my interest (Minis, Group B rally cars, Group C sportscars, yearbooks and stuff that I've just picked up on boot sales and charity shops over the years.
Pride of place in my collection is a copy of "Forever Young" - a project I was involved in, thanks to my archive.

There used to be a W450 Smart Car in Hanslope decked out in Herbie colours and livery for reasons I could never fathom.

Sometimes it's not worth trying to work these things out

Many years ago (30+), in Wrenthorpe (now, a suburb of Wakefield) near Picadilly Motors (was a FIAT dealer, now Kia), there was a house that had at least a dozen pre 1950s Rovers in there, plus innumerable piles of spares/wheels/chassis/etc....
The newest he had was probably a P3
Coincidentally, a few years ago, I was talking to a chap, at St Aidens (where 'OddBall' resides), with a 75 estate, who mentioned he had a few old Rovers, I told him about the Wakefield collection
It turned out to be the same guy, who told me where he lived (I'd ridden/driven past many times, but they can't be seen from the road)
I've kept in touch, & had a look round his yard, it's a veritable treasure-trove, & he contributed a large amount of knowledge/photographic models to James Taylor, for one of his excellent 'Original' books about 30s Rovers, such as; https://www.amazon.com/Original-Land-Rover-Restorers-military-1948-58/dp/1906133158
(not sure if it's published yet
