Reviews for Russian Motor Vehicles
"This 128-page, well-illustrated title sorts out your ZILs from your ZISs in an eminently readable style." - Classic & Sports Car It's a great read, not least because Kelly puts them in a political and social context rather than producing a list of facts with a few adjectival phrases thrown in.
