A good read for those interested in the history of smaller cars

Description: The microcar, in some form, has always been an answer for the motorist with a lack of space and/or money. But although the microcar has its origins in the early years of the twentieth century, its golden era was the 1950s and 60s – the Age of the Bubblecar!

In this fascinating book Malcolm Bobbitt traces the history of minimal motoring, from the forecars and cyclecars of the 1920s and 30s, through the bubblecar era, to microcars of our own time, including the fashionable MCC Smart.

Features:
A fascinating study and look at a new history of the Microcar and its golden era of the 1950s and 60s – the Age of the Bubblecar.
Superbly illustrated with 160 black & white photographs and an 8 page color section.
Written by a motoring writer and journalist who has made several television appearances and radio broadcasts.

Hardcover • 7-1/2” x 9-1/2” • 192 pages • 8 color, 160 b/w
