Although this special edition magazine is a little costly ($20.00) it is well worth it.  The text and pictures cover 225 pages and 114 classic British sports cars produced between 1936 and 2005.  Marques featured include AC, Allard, Austin-Healey, Daimler, Ginetta, Jaguar, Jensen-Healey, Lotus, Marcos MG, Morgan, Reliant, Sunbeam, Triumph, and TVR.  The history and specifications of each variant of all the marques are covered in considerable detail.

I especially enjoyed the opening paragraph of the Healey 100/6 discussion.  It asked a question regarding the test for “Britishness” of the cars.  The author concluded that with regard to cars, a Big Healey is clearly a contender in the classic stakes, highlighting the “rugged charm, racous engine note and captivating looks six-cylinder Austin Healeys are so quintessentially English they could merit a question in the UK citizenship quiz.”

I purchased my copy of the magazine at Border’s but I am sure it is available at Barnes and Nobel as well.
