The Encyclopedic Guide to more than 850 Marques
and Thousands of Models

More than 850 firms built sports cars between 1945 adn 1990. They came from every corner of the world. Not just the obvious places such as Britain, the USA, Italy, Germany, France and Japan, or the likely places like Switzerland, Scandinavia, Spain and Australia, but from some unlikely places too, including Brazil, Uruguay, Egypt, the Philippines and Israel.

This was a period in which the sports car evolved from MG TC to Ferrari F40. Throughout, there was a sports car for every taste, for the fresh-air fanatic of modest means as well as the rich man in a hurry. In this book the cars of great marques like Ferrari, MG and Jaguar are described and assessed alongside the creations of one-man bands and kit-car makers, landmark designs alongside the projects which limped from crisis to oblivion.

More than 1,000 photographs in black-an-white and color illustrate the extraordinary variety of sports cars that have been offered to the public. Enthusiasts will recognize many, but some they will be seeing for the first time. If sports cars are your enthusiasm, and if you seek full encyclopedic coverage of this period, then this book is for you.
