Cars We Loved in the 1970s

a good read down memory lane for any car enthusiast

Ahhh. It brings back Happy Memories for us 'older drivers'. Nice photos and text, although my own Volvo 360GLS was Superb during 9 years of ownership! If we looked-after these cars properly, more could well be on the road.Yes, equipment was much more basic, but we LEARNT how to drive properly, especially on ice!

Written by a clearly knowledgeable enthusiast this insightful little book captures the essence of 70s cars and motoring succinctly and accurately. The author's objectivity demonstrates that, despite industrial unrest, political strife (and interference) and rubbish cars made in this decade, there were also many fine models, plus significant motoring advances and technological innovations.British marques ruled at the start of the 70s but were in serious decline by the end, thanks in part to often superior foreign alternatives, which is one of the reasons so many people of my generation who grew up in the 70s, have such fond memories of now forgotten makes and models. Who can remember the Vauxhall Magnum 2.3 saloon (a fast Viva), the author can and so can this reviewer whose Grandad had one (they were QUICK, or seemed so to me at the time). An informative, entertaining and nostalgic read, written by an author with no axe to grind.

Brought back motoring memories

If this is your subject your in for a treat ! Very informative lots of little gems of information stuff I had forgotten really great buying the sixties one when I finish this which will read again almost certainly before long

Bought as a gift, was reluctant to give as I was enjoying the book myself…

An ideal smaller gift for anyone brought up in the 60s/70s. One many men out there would appreciate as a small stocking filler.

Brilliant book! Re-visited many of the cars I can remember that were on the roads in my childhood. I particularly liked that there was coverage of those cars that had sales overlapping two decades i.e. from the late 1960s to early 1970s and late 1970s to early 1980s. Aside from car/models from this era, there are interesting sections about what it was like to be driving and owning cars in this period. For each car/model, aside from photos and background information, there are extracts of reviews made t the time by the motoring press. Made for an enjoyable read and reference book.

Heerlijk nostalgisch boekje. Niks bijzonders, gewoon leuk.

For the price, you do not get more information. Its okay. Nothing much to brag about.
