Take a drive down memory lane ... A small leather goods and harness-making shop in England became a fledgling horse-drawn carriage and coach-building business in colonial South Australia.

This book is a rare offering not only for the motoring enthusiast and Holden aficionados and historians but for every true and proud Australian.
