Did you know there are over 47,000 facts in the world?* And the good news is, many of them are in this book. That’s right, The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car is the only reference guide you need for cars, driving and all related matters, especially if you’re not too fussed about those facts being accurate.
In this lavishly tooled book you will find a rich and satisfying collection of motor-related informations from the origins of Porsche and the fate of Lada to the dark history of the Wankel engine and the correct name for those weird little hairs on new tyres.
Throughout the book, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are on hand to share their knowledge and wisdom, and then we’ve made the pictures bigger to fill in the gaps around it.
If you want to impress your friends, and then annoy your friends, and then cause your friends to think “Oh God, now they’re telling us about the slightly ironic way in which the founder of MG died” before hurriedly leaving your house, possibly forever, The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car is the book for you.
The Grand Tour A-Z of the Car – literally bursting with facts!**

Bought for 11 year old car crazy grandson. He got this for Xmas and it is by far his favourite book. Lots of be pictures and interesting facts combined with the odd bit of nonsense you would expect from the over grown schoolboy authors. A great present for a young car enthusiast.

When I saw this book, I jumped at the chance to buy it for my Kindle. The price was very good. I have always been interested in Top Gear and Grand Tour. This book is well written with a lot of facts about cars and other vehicles in an alphabet style. The chapters are just the right length with a descriptive page of the letter at the beginning of each chapter. There are a few photos in the book to describe certain points. I really enjoyed reading this book in about 5 weeks, learning more about certain vehicles etc. It was one of the best books of this type and I wish it was longer. I would recommend this book to Top Gear fans and people who didn’t get to watch Grand Tour.
