In the 1950s and early 1960s Ian Allan Publishing produced a number
of 'abc' books on motor cars of the era - abc British Cars, abc
Sports Cars, abc Continental Cars, abc Historic Cars and abc
American Cars, as well as more general books on motoring - abc
Spotting the Numberplate and abc British Roads. Many of these were
produced annually and today provide a nostalgic window into an age
when motoring first came into reach of the majority of the
population and British car manufacturers still dominated. Three of
these volumes from the 1950s are being reproduced in this facsimile
abc of British Motor Cars 1950s - abc British Cars 1958, abc Sports
Cars 1957 and abc British Roads (first published June 1956). All
the British car manufacturers of 1957 are included with details of
the individual car makes that each offered at the time, from the
humble Ford Popular built at Dagenham and available to the
purchaser for GBP413 17s 0d to the sporty new Triumph TR3, the
plastic-bodied Jensen Interceptor, the Vauxhall Wyvern, the Humber
Super Snipe, the Singer Gazelle and many others. So many of the
manufacturers' names, such as Alvis, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam,
have disappeared, leaving the manufacturing heartlands in Coventry
and Birmingham devastated, but the luxury marques of Rolls Royce,
Daimler and Bentley are still famous today. Along with abc British
Roads, this interesting compilation provides a nostalgic glimpse of
motoring in Britain in the 1950s and will bring back memories of
childhood days for many readers.
