With his monthly Sports Car Market Magazine, Keith Martin made official what the world of car collecting already knew: He was the ultimate authority on collector cars, his columns in AutoWeek and Automobile, and his appearances on Speed Channel and at major auctions a natural extension of his longtime passion and expertise. In this book Martin, along with the editors and contributors at Sports Car Market, gathers the magazine's best articles and auction reports on the most popular British sports cars. An essential reference for anyone with an interest in these collector cars. The book is a gold mine of pithy comments and straight talk about the pros and cons of ownership, the merits of particular makes and models, and what to look for (and avoid) when indulging a passion for collecting British sports cars.
