Product Description
Product Description
They don't make 'bad' cars any more, right? Well, maybe not, but there have been some real clunkers in years gone by, and this is the first book to celebrate them in all their awful glory. In this new edition, Giles Chapman presents to you "The Worst Cars Ever Sold", containing hundreds of rare pictures of these unreliable, rusty, hideous-looking and just plain mad machines, and thousands of fascinating and entertaining facts about them - some will surprise you, others you'll be all too familiar with. This book will take you back in time to when the family jalopy never failed to let you down, or that banger you bought from the local paper revealed its true character the moment you drove it - behold the worst cars ever sold and enjoy!

I have owned this book for some time and finally got around to reading it only recently. One of the best books - and I owned so many of these cars which, at the time I thought were fabulous. Looking back made me laugh loud at some of the heaps I peosonally owned.

I felt that I was ripped off when I bought this book because so much of it was similar to a previous book by Giles Chapman - "Cars that Time Forgot". Several photographs and a significant amount of text was the same or similar with only minor changes. It is a disgrace that material can be regurgitated, slightly tweaked, and republished under a new title. I will not be buying any more of Mr Chapman's books because I do not want to risk wasting any more money. Unfortunately I was unable to give it zero stars.

A good "one-off" read
Not a book you will keep returning to but good fun once - particularly if you have owned one of the cars and don't agree with its inclusion in the book! Read more

Worth a punt as a present for a 40-59 yr old Dad
I'm biased towards this book. I've owned 3 of the models listed, and lusted after another 7 of them. Read more
