Among the millions of cars made since Gottlieb Daimler's motor wagon first spluttered into motion, certain cars stand out as classics - turning points in the chequered history of motoring, or simply for the pleasure they have brought to people's lives. This book brings these cars together to form a collection of classic cars. The car gallery, the major part of the book, contains over 800 photographs of more than 80 classic cars, each sourced from owners clubs, museums, or private collections. Shown in close-up from every angle, the design and performance features of each classic car are identified and highlighted in detail. The text includes details on each car's technical specifications, design innovations, construction data, and performance. Information panels contain historical details, production figures, competition successes, mechanical and body modifications, and other features.
