Low-volume sports cars from the likes of Lotus, TVR, Ginetta, Gilbern, and Marcos are popular in Britain, where a number of entrepreneurial firms have been producing such cars since the 1950s. This is the first book to describe this industry as a whole, including comprehensive marque histories that detail each model and include racing successes and nostalgic anecdotes. From Berkeley to GSM, Lenham to Unipower, unique cars that became classics, and even those that failed to make the grade--all are included here.
