About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Front cover picture tempted me to buy

    Front cover car picture tempted me to buy the book but despite the car being good enough for front cover, the car is maligned in the book. This is disappointing as I own a Morris Oxford Series lll and find it to be a very typical 1950's British family saloon and I enjoy owning it, despite the harsh words about it's design by the author. Rather surprising. If the design is unappealing to the author, why was the model chosen for the front cover?
