I doubt few would trump that selection OG, impressive! I will need to go and have a look as they are scattered around the house and garage. I know I have a couple of Vizard 'A' Series and Mini books plus the Allen Staniforth one and a couple of Gerry Marshall ones.
 
That is a library's worth. I have
Top Toppers Very advanced driving
Hilliers Fundementals of Motor Vehicle Technology
And a few glossy, look at these nice supercar books!

I do most reading online and in digital form nowadays. :(
