Sports cars for millionaires, sports cars for the millions—a multi-faceted spectrum unfolds here on 440 fascinatingpages: an exciting range encompassing everything fromthe MGB, the “quota-king” with 513,272 cars sold, to theJaguar XK SS, of which just 16 were sold worldwide.Hartmut Lehbrink describes a “rolling social pyramid” inhis text. The specifications of the cars’ bodies, motors,and overall looks vary accordingly: some modest, some exuding power, some understated, some opulent. The spirit of the British sports car tradition is reflected in theaesthetics of Schlegelmilch’s photography and in Lehbrink’s knowledgeable text. Both have a feel for thecharacter and charisma of the vehicles, the passion anddedication of thosewho developed them, as well as the success story of the makes and models—information presented from its most appealing side.
