Description
Toyota vehicles are interwoven into New Zealand lives, and virtually every person living in this country has either owned or driven a Toyota. But these aren't just vehicles renowned for their reliability and dependability; they also have a strong cult following.
Toyota - A Kiwi Obsession celebrates Toyota vehicles in New Zealand, and the huge variety of roles they play. The book features everything from work vehicles to modified road cars, classic cars, and race cars, including Toyota V8 powered Stockcars, and even a one-off factory-supported Toyota V8 powered 1969 McLaren Can-Am car. Also included are Toyota-related memorabilia.
This is the ultimate motoring coffee table book, and a must not only for every Toyota enthusiast, but every car enthusiast.

About the Author
Steve Holmes is a New Zealand motoring writer and motorsport historian who has written mostly motorsport history articles for various New Zealand and Australian car magazines for over 20 years. Although he has a broad range of interest in all things motoring related, in particular Steve is a motor-racing enthusiast. His passions are for saloon car racing, both New Zealand and international, from the 1960s through to the 1980s, as well as the American Can-Am sports car series, and Formula 5000. Steve has written approximately 20 books, both for New Zealand and international publishers, and his motorsport history books have been widely praised for their research and depth of detail.

Kiwi Muscle Car Collections

In Kiwi Muscle Car Collections, Steve Holmes gains unprecedented access to some rare,...Hardback$4100Elsewhere:$4500Unit price /UnavailableIn StockShips today -
