100 of the greatest cars from 1886 to the present day.

For all classic car enthusiasts and everyone who loves the nostalgia and romance of these beautiful machines. Discover all you need to know about 100 iconic vehicles in this highly-giftable hardback filled with stunning photography of world-famous cars.

Cars are a barometer of society, from film buffs to music fans to fashionistas or art students, many of the best-known classics are easy to associate with the 'scene' they became part of: Minis on the King's Road driven by chic 1960s models, the VW Microbus transporting hippies to San Francisco, Porsche 911 Turbos painted Guards Red to match the braces worn by the 1980s City boys.

Organized era by era, starting with the early pioneers, then through the war years to the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s, Nigel covers the concepts behind the car's creation, its styling and engineering, its place in society and the reasons it came to be so loved, celebrity owners, famous movie or TV appearances and notable innovations. And, crucially what it's like to drive. All key specifications are detailed for car buffs. Pre-war models like the Austin 7, Bugatti Type 35 and the Bentley 'Blower' are covered alongside the most recent classics like the McLaren F1, Nissan Skyline R33, Ferrari F50, Mazda MX-5, and the cute Renault Twingo - all from the 1990s. There will be a special section covering the truly great names in greater depth -histories of Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, Porsche, and Jaguar.
