Looking for the best automotive restoration and history books? In this post, we’re diving into why Veloce Publishing stands out as one of the most trusted names in automotive literature—and why we’ve carried their books for over 20 years at Midlife Classic Cars.
At Midlife Classic Cars, we specialize in automotive books—everything from shop manuals and restoration guides to deep-dive automotive history books. If it’s got an engine (and sometimes even if it doesn’t), we’re interested in it.
We’ve spent years sourcing and curating some of the best automotive literature available, helping enthusiasts, restorers, and collectors find the right information for their projects.
There are a lot of automotive books out there—but Veloce Publishing consistently stands out for a few key reasons:
When you pick up a Veloce book, you’re not just getting general information—you’re getting real, usable knowledge.
One of the standout books we’ve used personally is the Austin Healey 3000 guide. This isn’t just a book you flip through—it’s something you actually use.
From solving electrical issues to understanding the car inside and out, this kind of detailed content is what makes Veloce different.

If there’s one book that really stands out, it’s the Citroën 2CV restoration guide.
Hands down, it’s one of the most detailed and well-done restoration books we’ve ever seen. It walks you through the process in a way that’s clear, thorough, and actually useful—whether you’re experienced or just getting started.
Veloce doesn’t just do technical manuals—they also produce incredible automotive history books.
What makes them different is their use of original-era photography. Instead of relying on restored cars or modern recreations, many of their books feature authentic images from the time period.
This gives you a much more accurate and immersive look at automotive history.
Their catalog isn’t limited to just cars.
For example, their Norton motorcycle books are so detailed they might actually convince you to go buy one. (Ask me how I know.)
They also continue to release new titles, including recent books covering brands like AMG, which have been flying off our shelves.
If you want a good place to start, here are a few Veloce books worth checking out. Click any cover to view the book.
