This is a self-published book by Ivan Kolev, a Bulgarian auto historian, painter, journalist and massive car fan.

It was published in 2010, hard-cover, 410 pages (!!!)

It is a year-by-year overview of Bulgarian motoring history, including cars, trucks and buses. Local coachbuilders, dealers are features, also stories on individual cars which were imported to Bulgaria. An incredible amount of information has been gathered together.

Only drawback is that it is in Bulgarian.

Price is EUR 35 including p&p. If anyone is interested, I can relay requests to Ivan

Hello,

Could you say how many pictures are in the book of local coachbuilders?

Thank you.

Not too much. Ivan is preparing another book, which will feature nothing else but local coachbuilders :)!

He also should consider a bi-lingual edition. (if the second language isn't Hungarian ;))

Yes please, I would like to obtain a copy.
The price seems very reasonable to me for such a large amount of information.
