Book recalling Ireland’s motoring past launched

A new book entitled ‘Historic Motoring in Ireland’ which recalls Ireland’s motoring history from the earliest days has been published to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Veteran & Vintage Car Club.

The 170-page hardback production – which has a cover price of EUR25 and can be obtained through the club website, <http://www.ivvcc.ie> – was compiled and edited by IVVCC club member Anselm Aherne.

Published with sponsorship from Motor Distributors Limited, it contains a fund of articles, information and historical recollections and is richly illustrated with photographs, many of which were never previously published.

Pictured at the launch of the publication was IVVCC President Tom Farrell with Stephen Byrne (left), chief executive of Mercedes-Benz in Ireland and the book’s author Anselm Aherne.
