More Microcars by Tony Marshall

Microcars enjoyed a period of popularity during the twenty years following the end of the Second World War. While larger motor manufacturers struggled with the difficulty of resuming production, despite the handicap of raw material shortages, microcar makers adopted, adapted and exploited the technological advances accelerated by the demands of a world in conflict, each designer giving full rein to his individual flair. In his first book, Tony Marshall explored the weird and wonderful world of microcars, using period archive material, adverts and modern photographs to capture some of the successes and failures - most of which are now entirely forgotten. For More Microcars, Tony has uncovered a completely new selection of cars, from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and America: Heinkel, Trojan, Nobel, Fuldamobil, Frisky, Lightburn, Berkeley, Peel, Trident, AC, Gordon, Pashley, Dornier, Zundapp, Brutsch, Shelter, King Midget and Crosley. Entertaining and informative, More Microcars is an amusing and informative read for every motoring enthusiast.
Tony Marshall is a leading British expert on microcars, and a founder member of the Register of Unusual Microcars.
