Specialist Sports Cars by Richard Heseltine
Specialist, low-volume sportscars are popular in Britain, which since the 1950s has had a wealth of entrepreneurial firms each producing their own vision of the ideal driver's delight. Whether the design is brilliant, appalling or just plain eccentric, these specials generate huge enthusiasm. Club Lotus has 8,000 members, the TVR Owner's Club has 6,000, and even small clubs for Ginetta, Gilbern and Marcos boast over 1,000. But while some marques have been acknowledged by motoring historians,this is the first book to describe the industry as a whole, as well as its constituent parts.
Richard Heseltine, a journalist on Classic and Sportscar, has written about, driven and raced many of the cars featured in this book, and knows a number of the manufacturers personally. He lives in Wandsworth, London.
