Classic Sports Cars: Part 1

Paperback | Kindle eBook

Classic Sports Cars: Part 1 features material from the classic era of sports cars from a writer who drove the best from vintage to modern. Here are sports cars with straight-cut gears and sports cars with automatic transmissions; sports cars with one carburettor choke per cylinder and sports cars with fuel injection and turbochargers.

Most of the entries in the Sports Car Classics series are easy self-contained reads, histories and features reproduced as they were published between 1960 and 2010. Since they were written for different publications, the entries in Sports Car Classics vary in tone. Road tests compiled for The Motor have an engineering bent; Sunday Times readers did not expect anything like that. The test reports read as unvarnished personal views gained from test driving virtually every make of sports car of the second half of the 20th century, as well as a good many from the first.
