Synopsis

You don't have to be a car enthusiast to like exotic cars. Whether it's a full-fendered classic from the thirties or something aggressively modern in looks and performance, some cars have an appeal which is timeless and universal. Within these pages Richard Nichols has picked over 30 of the world's most alluring cars, to reveal that special quality which has made them stand out from the crowd. Looking behind the scenes, he tells the story of how each car made its way (or in the case of the Tucker Torpedo, didn't!) to the production line. Included are such classics as the sumptuous and elegant Cadillac V16; streamlined sportscars; the Morgan Three-Wheeler, whose curious looks were guaranteed to cause heads to turn; revolutionary cars like the Mini-Cooper S, which managed to squeeze a lot of engine into a remarkably small space. Superbly illustrated with nearly 200 color photographs, Exotic Cars is a fascinating and informative book which every car enthusiast will want to own.
