Celebrate the vehicles that put the public on wheels with the highly collectible hardcover volume Motoring for the Millions by acclaimed transport writer Ian Ward. Published in 1983, this nostalgic historical retrospective documents the evolution, engineering triumphs, and profound societal impact of popular mass-market family transport through the mid-to-late 20th century.

The striking dust jacket features a vibrant color photograph by Jasper Spencer-Smith, beautifully pairing two absolute cornerstones of British affordable motoring: a classic black Morris Minor 1000 (registration SYD 938) alongside a bright yellow Austin/Morris Mini saloon (registration YYC 114X). Inside, the large-format publication is heavily illustrated with crisp color plates, technical diagrams, and rare period advertising. Detailing the design milestones of legendary everyday vehicles—including the Volkswagen Beetle, Citroën 2CV, Fiat 500, Ford Model T, and BMC Mini—this book is an indispensable addition for automotive historians, classic car owners, and vintage motoring literature collectors.
