This text is a companion volume to "Bubblecars and Microcars Colour Family Album", 1994. In the difficult postwar years, these microcars were meant to fill the gap between expensive, full sized "real" cars, scooters and motorcycles. Some of these microcars - such as the BMW 600 - were a commercial success, whilst others struggled to reach double-figure production. Some were crafted using first-class engineering skills; others owed their existence more to enthusiasm than anything else. Regardless, all are now collectable and lovingly restored by their owners.

Tiny cars, cheap on gas,
This review is from: More Bubblecars & Microcars (Bk.2) (Hardcover)
This book is volume 2 to the the first microcars book written by the authors in 1994. First off, what is a bubble car or microcar? They are tiny cars made in Europe where they have had to conserve gas and use smaller vehicles for a long time while we we were driving cadillacs. The cars are charming and tiny. They usually seat two with room for 1 or 2 suitcases, and are perfect for running errands around town. Most of these cars are 3 wheeled, for in England the road tax was more expensive for a 4 wheeled vehicle. While this book does not offer every bubblecar ever made, it has a nice sampling and quality chapters on all the ones they do include. Each car has its history and designers, photos, and specifications. A really fun coffee table book covering these eccentric little cars.
