Cars That Time Forgot by Giles Chapman £7.50 posted
96 page hardback 1997
"Here, gathered together, are page after page of the strangest cars man has made - cars that you will probably never have heard of, let alone seen before. These are the waifs and strays of the wheeled world; they range from the earliest Toyotas to the latest Metros, they come from as far apart as Turkey and Tokyo, they were created by fashion designers and flying aces, they're long and short, fast and slow, glamorous and - sometimes - ghastly. But, most of all they represent man's never ending quest to see his dreams come to life. The X Files of the car world..."
Again, lots of cars we all know, love and probably owned but in a very different guise or with a quirky twist to them.
