4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Reference, October 11, 2006

This review is from: Standard Guide to British Sports Cars (Paperback)
This book is layed out by Marque alphabetically. A handy guide to the many builders and evolutions of British sports cars. It is important to note that this book focuses on sports or sporty cars produced for sale to the public. The general formula used to define a sports car is a production vehicle of light weight and relatively high BHP when compared to other vehicles of the time. Most are offered as open top roadsters. Racing history and early motorcars are not covered very much except as side notes. However, those cars that are covered are given rich color pictures and clear writing that typically will detail the design history as well as provide context regarding the time frame of the car design and information about the builder.

2.0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory value, November 30, 2007
This review is from: Standard Guide to British Sports Cars (Paperback)
I bought this book for a friend. The material that is given is just enough. I wish that there was more. Why have they left out some of the older models and the very modern ones? Still, great pictures do give you some value for your money. Buy it if it is sale priced.
