Car Lovers

Islands auto enthusiasts of sufficient vintage to recall the glamour of names such as Tispano Suiza, de Dion-Bouton, Alvis, Auburn, etc., will ex )erience nostalgia from Cars In Colour.

Eighty cars of “personality” ire presented on pages of full :olour, with brief technical and ;eneral details on the facing •ages. These notes and the engthy foreword (which reads ike an art show description) re written by UK motoring Durnalist Michael Sedgwick.

Although mainly concerned dth “specialist” and sports/ During cars, about two-thirds of le book is taken up with eteran and vintage models. The election of post-1945 cars is tetchy and despite the fact that lany superb machines have ap eared in recent years, the itest model included is a run f-the-mill 1961 MG A roadster.

But the pictures are good and 11 the machines shown are iteresting even to younger •otorists. Everything considered, ’s worth a place on the car ithusiast’s bookshelf, and at le price, is good value for

loney,
