About this product

Product Information

After the Second World War, cars in Britain were very hard to come by. Most new models had to go for export or were reserved for those drivers who needed them the most, such as doctors. Petrol was still rationed, roads inadequate and modern technology lacking. With the arrival of the 1950s, things slowly began to change: Morris, Austin and Ford put increasing numbers of British families on the road, new sports cars from MG, Jaguar, Triumph and Austin-Healey promised a thrilling drive, and innovative motors such as the Land Rover and the bubble car emerged. By 1958, new car buying was leading a consumer boom, and Britain's manufacturers still had the market to themselves. Giles Chapman investigates the fascinating motoring history of the 1950s. 200 colour illustrations

    Cars we loved in the 1950s

    This is an excellent book which has accurate information about all 1950s' British cars. It also starts with a few from the 1940s and ends with a few from the 1950s which is a perfect framework for the main subject. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in motor car history.

    Great book. It rolled back the years to when I was a young boy. Tip to condition too. Thanks.

  • Those were the days

    These were amongst the first cars I remember, and on the front are two that I actually owned. Took me right back to when I first ventured into learning to drive something with more than two wheels. Smashing pictures, enough text to give the flavour of the cars. I only put it down when I'd finished it. I've now bought the next in the series - 1960s here we come.
