100 Cars Britain Can Be Proud Of
£10.40£12.30 (-15%)
From Ace to Zodiac – via the world-beating Land Rover, the thrilling Morgan Aeromax, the eternally young Mini Cooper and the unique London taxi – this is a celebration of the best British cars, old and new, in all their glorious diversity. Don’t you believe it when people say there’s no such thing as a ‘British’ car any more. As a nation, the calamity of British Leyland and MG Rover lingers in our collective conscience, but car factories in Britain today build some of the world’s most advanced and desirable cars. Some of them have Japanese names, for sure, but then Ford was always more hamburger than roast beef, wasn’t it? Britain’s engineers, designers and entrepreneurs have for decades been the creators of motor cars with unique style and charm, from the Bentley 3-litre and Morris Minor Traveller of ‘then’ to the Aston Martin Vantage and Lotus Evora of ‘now’. Inside, you’ll find out about the country’s 100 most significant models, boasting style, speed, ingenuity and The Right Stuff. They’ll make you glad they’re British!

A very nice little book full of nostalgia, with photos & small amounts of information about each car, there is a good cross-section of cars represented here, not everyone’s opinion though as there are of course so many old wonderful British cars to choose from. Anyway a book well worth viewing, you can easily drop into any page & find something interesting, it will I wonder wet your appetite for more of the same, it did with me!!

Bought this booklet for a mate who had lent me one of his MG’s for a weekend. The least one could do, not?
He was just off on a short trip east and was very glad. He spent a lot of time, immediately after opening the wrapper, flicking through the pages and finding all sorts of ‘fond memories’ and ‘I wish I could afford thats’.
He also found lots of time to sit down and enjoy a quiet moment with some lo vely cars.
An excellent way of enjoying British carbuilding, a period of time when we had something to be pround about.
