"I admired the renditions of the rally BMC Mini, and the multiple views of the D50 Lancia/Ferrari may inspire you to pull out pencil and paper for some sketching of your own." Australian Classic Car

"There's a reassuringly traditional feel to this 'how to' softback, which majors on the style of illustration familiar from car mags of the 1930s to the '60s. Gardiner packs in a huge amount of expert advice, which will be vital to design students as well as to budding artists. Attractive, informative - recommended." Octane
