British Sporting Cars in Miniature

David Wright turns to his personal collecting interest of some 40 years, British sports cars.

Research identified a vast number of both small and large manufacturers of sporting cars, many in kit form, some of which, although made for the road, were made in very small numbers. Defining what is a sports or sporting car was a real challenge, and David has emphasized that this book is a personal record, thus his definitions relating to style, performance, function and age of the real cars are wholly his alone. 

David focuses on linking the miniature exapmles, mostly in 1:43 scale, with the real thing. His source material is his own collection of over 800 models and those of a number of serious collectors around the world, resulting in a reference work depicting the complete range of British sporting cars throughout the 20th century. This work combines historical summaries of 81 manufacturers with over 1000 pictures of models common and rare, with a listing of each model.
