Product Description

With the end of the Second World War it was not long before increasing wealth, cheaper cars, and social pressures made a family car the aspiration of thousands. Ford, Hillman, Standard, Morris and Vauxhall became household names, and the streets of Britain's suburbs began to fill with modern-looking saloon cars, designed to transport mother, father and 2.4 children with ease, if not speed. This highly-illustrated book looks at the British cars that were available to the post-war family, and also some of the foreign makes that had an important place in the market, and which had a great influence on the British-made cars that followed.

Customer Reviews

For car history buffs.
I like Shire books, they are small, easy to read and reasonably priced. This particular publication follows that pattern plus it's jam packed with detail and some good illustrations including those from the manufacturers brochures. I like it because there are no wasted words,no filling, it's concise and tells you what you want to know if you are either researching or in my case re-living the motor industry of the 50's and 60's.Well worth the effort of buying.
