Britain has been responsible for some of the greatest sports cars ever built – the ‘Blower’ Bentleys of the 1920s, diminutive MGs of the 1930s, glamorous Jaguar E-types and Aston Martin’s DB5 of the 1960s, and beyond to the jaw-dropping McLarens and Lotuses of more recent times. This new book explores the rich and fascinating history of the UK’s most magnificent high-performance machines, from their primitive, pioneering days through to the technologically advanced and sophisticated modern times.

Illustrated with more than 170 images, this celebration of the world’s love affair with Britain’s sporting machines is almost as dramatic and dynamic as the cars themselves.
