Quite a long list Mike , the ones in the book are
Scimitar 15 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
No one had thought ofcombining the practicality of an estate car with the acceleration and style of a sports coupe before the Scimitar. A glass tailgate at the back opens on to a luggage area that can be made huge with the rear seats folded. The bodywork is plastic, and the 3-litre engine comes from Ford. An enlarged but similar Scimitar was launched in 1976.
MG Midget 10 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
An old MG name was revived for this fun two-seater sports car (an almost identical Austin Healey Sprite edition was also available0. Engines ranged from 948cc in the mkI to 1275cc in the mk IV and then from 1975, the midget 1500 took over with both a bigger engine and black rubber bumpers to single it out.
Austin 7 25 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
Sir Herbert Austin's first real car in minature was hurried into production in 1923, but quickly became a motoring legend. It is very light and, although there's just room for four people, the tiny 747cc, 10.5bhp engine struggles to pull a fully-loaded Seven along.
Vauxhall Cresta 25 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
This large family saloon set the trend in the late 1950's, with its prominent rear fins, elaborate chrome trim and wraparound windscreen heavily influenced by contemporary American cars. Under the bonnet, an unstressed six-cylinder engine was more than adequate to cope with Britain's then-new motorways.
Triumph Stag 15 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
this glamourous convertible has a T-shaped roll-over bar linking the windscreen with the rest of the body, to offer protection if the car turns over in a crash. Its a full four-seater, with plenty of power from its 3.0 litre V8 engine. Some Stags have a detachable hardtop.
Morris Cooper S 15 points
from I-Spy Classic Cars
In 1959, the cleverly packaged Mini redefined small cars- the engine was mounted across the front, turning the front wheels, with the gearbox tucked underneath, allowing maximum cabin space. In highly-tuned twin fuel tank Cooper form, it became a rapid road car, and unbeatable in rallying; visual differences from the lesser minis include a contrasting colour roof, and perforated wheels.
MG Sprite (Austin Healey Sprite Mk 1 25 Points)
With cheeky headlights sitting on the bonnet top, no wonder fans of this tiny sports car named it the "Frogeye". The whole front part of the body lifts to reveal the 848cc engine, but at the back, there's no boot lid-you have to cram your luggage in from behind the two seats!
Jensen Interceptor 25 points
Here's one of the most desirable cars of the 1960's. The Interceptor was British made but used a US-made Chrysler V8 engine, while the styling complete with a large, curved glass tailgate, came from Italy. the outwardly similar Jensen FF pioneered the use of four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes on production cars, revolutionary at the time.
Range Rover 10 points
I-Spy Classic Cars
Britain really led the world in 1970 with the launch of the first Range Rover. It bridged the gap between the four-wheel drive Land Rover and the luxurious Rover saloon, and kick-started the trend for people to use 4X4 vehicles as everyday cars. At first only available as a two-door with a four-door option added in 1980, most have a gutsy V8 engine
