Flat to the boards-a history of motor car sport in New Zealand from 1901 to 1940 by Dick Messenger and Douglas Wood. Hard covered book of 186 pages and printed in 1985. The book is in nice condition with no inscriptions, some very very light waving to the bottom of the pages but very light and a very small, there is a minute mark at the bottom of the dust jacket, see pics.

In the years leading up to the outbreak of World War Two, when motor car sports in New Zealand did not receive the massive sponsorship of today and when crash helmets were not obligatory headgear, there existed a large and happy band of enthusiasts whose efforts made possible a wide variety of frequent car races, trials, speed record attempts and hill climbs. The book includes descriptions of the cars, plenty of photographs and surveys of the various events from the Far North to the Deep South. This book is an important addition to anyone who is keen on cars.
