« on: September 12, 2011, 02:52:51 AM »
I hope you don't mind sharing some more information about my latest work.




This 35-page booklet describes home-made cars, minicars, sportscars etc. made in Hungary between 1945-1990.
From the table of contents:
- Preface, including a few words on pre-2nd World War Hungarian carmakers
- Story of Pente
- Offiical Hungarian microcar program, including Alba Regia, Balaton and the Úttörő
- Prototypes from the 1980s, including Tecoplan Leo, Arsenal, Sigma, Borbála and cars by HICOX
- A lot of home-made cars





You can get this book on Amazon for your Kindle or you can send EUR 1/USD 1.4 via PayPal to npaul@hu.inter.net and I'll send you the download link.

It's a very nice brochure, I like it a lot. Well done, Pal. :thumbsup:

(And at that price it's a real bargain.  ;) )

I have just realized that I didn't get this one!  :o

Pal, is it still available? Is it an e-book only?

Me too, somehow I've missed this thread completely. If you still offer it, I'll buy it at once :)
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Well, eventually this project turned into a real, 104-page book - courtesy of our als15.

The passenger car section has been enlarged, revamped and features more photos and info
There's a second chapter which deals with the history of autosport in Hungary between 1945-1963.

Please find enclosed the cover. It will be published in September with a cover price of EUR 29,90

Sorry: at the end, we chosen a different printing technology (offset instead of digital) and it gives better results but takes a bit longer.
I expect to have it ready in the next 10-15 days.
