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.
