Australian Off Road Year by Bill Tuckey is the 1984 hardback that celebrates a pivotal season of dusty outback racing and bush-bashing ingenuity. Tuckey’s first-hand reportage and period photography capture the machines, characters and remote tracks that defined the golden era of Australian off-road motorsport.
This first edition still wears its original dust jacket, now showing light edge tears and scuffing that hint at decades spent on garage bookshelves. Beneath the jacket the cloth boards are square and firm, while the acid-free pages remain bright, unmarked and tightly bound—no notes, no dog-ears, no smoke odours.
Ideal for motoring collectors, vintage rally fans and anyone who loves real Australian history told with humour and grit. A nostalgic addition to any leisure, hobby or transport shelf, ready to inspire the next generation of adventurers.
