The A-Z of Popular Scooters & Microcars: Cruising in style! Feature

This is mainly a photographic reference Book to Classic Scooters and Microcars with specification data presented in A to Z order of manufacturer. There are also nostalgic recollections by the author based on ownership and personal experience. In the middle 1950s as a teenager Michael Dan became interested in these then newly-arrived forms of transport. Eventually Michael owned a series of scooters and a microcar. He became involved in Scooter and Microcar Clubs and took part in many local and National Sporting Events gaining a collection of awards and trophies. In the mid 1980s he had time again to visit many indoor and outdoor Classic Vehicle Shows. Eventually this led to a renewed personal involvement in the restoration of a series of over twenty classic scooters and three classic microcars. The highly entertaining book and reference source is therefore written with the authority of a lifetime enthusiast.

Microcars at Large! Feature

This book celebrates an exciting period in motoring history. In the period following the Second World War, materials were in short supply and many people couldn’t afford a proper car. Economies were struggling and several motor manufacturers turned their hand to building basic transportation for motorists. These little cars were noisy, often crude and not over-reliable but provided transport for thousands of impoverished motorists. Due to their shape, many of these vehicles earned the nickname ‘bubblecar’ and ensured a place in people’s hearts. The role they played has crucial role in motoring history. They have overcome design challenges and many have reached iconic status. Discover the spherical Isetta and the wedge shaped Bond Bug. As prized collectors items, some microcars now enjoy cult status. Full of original color illustrations, this volume charts the history and development of bubblecars and microcars from the middle of the twentieth century to the present day. This is a lavishly illustrated guide to the weird and wonderful world of microcars from the basic bubblecars of the 1950s to the sophisticated models of today.
