Synopsis
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 color photographs and 60 black and white photographs are included, each captioned with a brief explanation of the vehicle shown.

Hardback. Etat : Near Fine. There are two kinds of classic car enthusiasts. The first dream of gleaming chrome, flawless coachwork and concours trophies. The second know the dreadful truth: beneath every beautiful old motor lurks a tiny patch of rust quietly plotting world domination. Rust in Peace is written for the latter?those hardy souls who have discovered that owning a classic vehicle often involves equal measures of romance, optimism and industrial quantities of welding wire. Despite the title sounding suspiciously like a heavy metal album (and, admittedly, one that many mechanics would happily listen to while attacking a corroded chassis with an angle grinder), Malcolm Tucker?s book is a serious and engaging guide to one of the greatest enemies ever faced by motorists. Corrosion has quietly consumed countless otherwise magnificent vehicles, and this book explains why it happens, how to recognise it, how to repair it properly and?perhaps most importantly?how to stop it returning with the persistence of an unwelcome relative. Drawing on years of practical experience, Tucker explores the science behind rust, the techniques used to remove and prevent it, and the methods employed by professional restorers to rescue vehicles that many would have written off long ago. Packed with colour photographs, practical advice and real-world examples, it manages the difficult trick of being both technically informative and reassuringly accessible. Whether you?re tackling a cherished MG, Jaguar, Triumph, Land Rover or virtually anything else built with steel and optimism, there is plenty here to learn. Of course, one quickly discovers that restoring old cars isn?t simply about replacing rusty panels. It is about maintaining morale while lying upside down in a freezing garage wondering whether the floorpan was ever attached to the rest of the vehicle in the first place. It is about discovering that the "small bubble" in the paint conceals a hole large enough to rent out as a studio flat. Above all, it is about accepting that every completed repair merely reveals the next one waiting patiently a few inches away. Beautifully produced and lavishly illustrated, Rust in Peace is one of those books that earns its place on the workshop shelf rather than merely decorating the coffee table. Whether you?re an experienced restorer, an enthusiastic amateur or simply fascinated by the endless battle against oxidation, it offers a wealth of practical knowledge wrapped in an appreciation for the determination required to keep classic vehicles alive. Condition: Near Fine. A remarkably well-preserved copy which, unlike many of the vehicles featured within its pages, appears to have won its battle against the ravages of time. Clean, crisp and in splendid condition, it is ready to educate its next owner without requiring a single patch panel, welding seam or emergency application of rust converter.
