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.
