The Motorist's Paradise - An illustrated history of early motoring around Cape Town.

SIGNED by both authors, Bob Johnston and Derek Stuart-Findlay.

The spectacular scenery of Cape Town's mountains and seascapes has facinated its citizens and visitors for centuries. This is the story of how the City's early motorists opened up the Cape Peninsula and its hinterland. The book reveals the story of the building of the All Round the Peninsula Road, the first motor journeys over the mountain passes to inland towns and coastal villages and incredible journeys commencing from or ending in Africa's southernmost city. Above all this is the story of many of the personalitites involved in these adventures.

Over 400 historic photographs refelct the challenges, frustrations and humour involved in the first 40 years of motoring in and around the Mother City.
