Description
Not so many years ago most of the cars featured in this book were familiar sights on Britain's roads. Now, the remaining examples - the ones that weren't crashed, bashed, thrashed, stolen or scrapped - are reminders of simpler times and simpler technology.
During Britain's spring and summer, thousands of owners polish their cherished motors before driving them to classic car shows and lining them up for inspection by an adoring public. Cars that were once seen so often they blended into the street furniture are now rare enough to rub fenders with the more obvious classics of the age. There are 1.5 million older motors that are still regularly driven around Britain today, and The Classic Car Spotters' Guide takes you through more than fifty prime examples, from Ford Cortinas and Austin 1100s to Borgward Isabellas and Austin Nash Metropolitans. Complete with rarity ratings and backstories for each one, this book is the perfect companion for your next event.
