ABOUT
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.
