This book takes the reader back in time to the first appearances of cars which changed the way we look at motoring. From Alfa Sud to Volvo Amazon, and from an austere pre-war Britain to the late 1980s yuppie boom, these 37 cars all made an immediate and enduring impact. All of them are illustrated in colour and expertly described.
Do you remember the unveiling of a particular car? Were you standing expectantly at some glitzy motor show, seeing the covers come off a glamorous new model, with the atmosphere alive with lights, music, hype and high expectations? For some cars, it was the start of something amazing; a tidal wave of change, which in some cases marked a revolution for the manufacturer who built it. For others it represented the very pinnacle of the brand’s existence, the epicentre of their heyday as a global car producer. This book aims to take you back in time to the launches of those models that changed the way we look at motoring. This nostalgic book also includes a review of some of the key events that were happening at the time, thus putting into context the momentous unveiling of these popular cars; six glorious decades of British motoring history are covered in what we hope you’ll find is an entertaining peek back at days before congestion and speed cameras.
