Book DescriptionThe history of the motor vehicle is a fascinating topic, and for many people, it is a lifetime passion. The number of individuals and companies who have at some stage indulged in vehicle manufacture reaches well into the thousands, whilst the number of different car designs is a multiple of that, and so it should perhaps come as no surprise to find amongst this huge multitude, that there are some eccentric and weird machines worthy of a moment in the limelight. This book highlights 250 examples of independent thought and serious experimentation, much of which sadly resulted in evolutionary cul-de-sacs. Its aim is not to scoff, but to applaud and celebrate the achievements, the diversity of approach to problems faced by all car makers, and their attendant results with the cars they built, however ridiculous they may now appear.
