More and more people are becoming engrossed with 'old' cars. Never before have there been so many special-interest magazines, marque, and even model, car clubs and something of an industry awaiting to supply this spare part or that special repair service.
The classic car business in every sense of the word is with us with a vengeance. Enthusiast weekends, rallies and 'swop meets' litter the calendar.
This guide discusses some of the most popular, prolific yet affordable cars to be found within the world-wide movement. Their inclusion has been carefully selected but subsequently found to embrace the time-honoured grouping
of 'British Postwar Classic Cars'. The description 'classic' has come to mean 'something of value' in this context, nothing more or less, which might allow the author something of a random choice as to whether to include it or not. He has, however, been most diligent.
The beginning of the book tells the story, of the British motor industry so that the start of postwar car production can be seen in context with the products which followed. The book then continues with an analysis of each significant make, its history postwar, to be then followed by a selective model description detailing every aspect which will be of interest to the owner, prospective purchaser and enthusiast alike.
Hence, there is an extremely detailed individual car shakedown for the specialist and an overall guide for the general reader—neither reader has been catered for in this way before. This extensive work will become standard, accepted reading, and browsing, for anyone who might venture to call themselves a car enthusiast and who cares about his motoring heritage.
