Starting in the 1940s with the Jaguar SS100 to the 1980s with the Ferrari F355 Spider, the author goes in depth on manufacturer history and shows through partial illustration improvements to engine enhancements, and body and carriage improvements, all in the name of speed! The photography is phenomenal and leaves little to the imagination. The book also includes many manufacturers from across the world, including Mercedes-Benz, MG, Lotus, BMW, Chevrolet, Datsun, and many others. A very well put together and informative book with 223 pages of beautiful sports cars of the not-so-long-ago era.
