Up for auction is a rare, early automotive collector's piece: a Second Edition copy of A Manual of Motor Mechanics and High Efficiency Tuning by L. Mantell. Published in London by Temple Press Ltd.

Mantell • Edition: Second Edition • Publisher: Temple Press Ltd., 7-15 Rosebery Avenue, London, E.C. • Special Features: Includes a comprehensive "Special Section on Tuning Carburetters," detailing functional inner workings and adjustments for classic, vintage carburetors. • Visuals: Features period-accurate technical drawings, a striking illustrated engine front cover, and an authentic vintage back cover advertisement for "Sphinx" Touring Model spark plugs manufactured in Birmingham. Condition: The book is in fair-to-good antiquarian condition given its age, showing some expected shelf wear, light aging, and minor creasing on the paper covers.
