Sold Out!By Malcolm Tucker. In this book, author Malcolm Tucker delves into the photographic archives of the celebrated motoring historian Mike Worthington-Williams. For over forty years Mike has collected photographs of derelict vehicles; some in scrap yards, some abandoned and some neglected, but often kept for sentimental reasons. Many are now fading and rusting into oblivion but there are also uplifting tales of resurrection. Old car enthusiasts the world over will know of Mike’s reporting of such finds, but this is the first time that a book dedicated to his lifetime passion has been published. Around 450 photographs are included, each captioned with a brief explanation of the vehicle shown.
