Sixty diverse cars, sixty fascinating stories, sixty contrasting
specifications, just one uniting factor: they're all forgotten,
neglected or misunderstood classics. In Lost Cars of the 1970s, the
casualties and sideshows of motoring history from around the world
finally get the recognition they deserve. Revisit a motoring decade
when fuel economy was top priority, the rotary engine rose and
fell, and car buyers wanted a hatchback and the latest styling and
safety features. Those that made the grade found global popularity
- now meet the cars left behind. Italy's clever plan to update the
Mini; the French GT coupe with an extra seat; America's electric
runabout that paved the way for Tesla; Britain's stylish, homespun
sports cars; the Japanese limo intended to do 25mph; the 'safety
car' turned into a Polish workhorse ... each one enjoys a detailed
review that gives the context and thinking around them. Featuring
archive images that highlight thirty design specials and one-offs,
award-winning author Giles Chapman showcases both the cars that
predicted what was to come, and those that pointed to a future that
never quite came true.
