The veteran's alphabet. A practical guide to choosing, buying, renovating and using a veteran, F. Fiala, P. Kolář
A practical guide to choosing, buying, renovating and using is intended for everyone who does not remain cool when looking at a machine that does not come from modern production. Yes, we are referring to old motorcycles, cars and trucks, buses, tractors, or even military equipment. Most of these enthusiasts get their hearts racing when looking at old, often beautifully bodied machines - even more so when they are still running. It is no wonder that many want to have their own "historian" at home.
However, this brings with it a number of questions: how to get started, what to watch out for and what such ownership entails. The publication clearly and comprehensibly guides you through all aspects of the world of vintage cars – from vehicle selection, purchase, legal regulations, verification of authenticity to the demanding renovation process and the possibility of obtaining spare parts or accessories. There are also chapters dedicated to the final testing, operation and presentation of vintage cars at exhibitions at home and abroad. The book also brings to mind the unique atmosphere of magnificent rides and vintage races.
And yet it spins, Jan Králík
New book from the warehouse.
The author, in his own unique way, expressed his admiration for the Sisyphean effort of all collectors and renovators of cars, buses, motorcycles or stationary engines, for their lifelong toil, which at the very end of this journey we can admire and say that our grandfathers knew how to make it, after all, that machine actually has a soul... The fates of these passionate fans and their collections are all the more interesting because after 30 years a lot has changed. Jiří Wagner accompanied the book with his photographs.
