This review is from: A-Z British Cars: 1945-1980 (Hardcover)
I absolutely love this book. I bought it for the reason that it took me back to when I was a boy in England and all the cars that were available then. This book is wonderfully laid out and the photos are amazing. I would recommend this book even if you are not a car fanatic.

This review is from: A-Z British Cars: 1945-1980 (Hardcover)
This is an extensive detailed and accurate catalogue of British cars. A comprehensive review of all cars produced in this period it is a necessity for any serious student or collector. It is a reference book. I thought I was well informed but there are cars here that I had never heard of. There are no color photos or other trivial distractions...it's all black and white and facts. Lots of red meat.
