This book celebrates everything that's great about British cars, from
the boneshaking Lanchester of the 1890s to the mouthwatering Aston
Martin V8 Vantage of today. Britain's engineers, designers, and
entrepreneurs have for decades been the creators of cars with unique
style and charm, as well as ground-breaking technology. Inside, you'll
encounter an eclectic cross-section--from the Blower Bentley and Morris
Minor Traveler to the original Mini, the Range Rover, and the Lotus
Esprit. They've tended to produce some splendid underdogs too, which is
why you'll find the Reliant Robin and Austin Maxi between these
covers--not to mention truly unique vehicles like the Land Rover, the
London taxi and, of course, the evergreen Morgan. Meanwhile, although
many great marques are now little more than golden memories, Britain's
car industry is holding its own, building some of the finest Hondas,
Nissans, and Toyotas you can get!
