Starting very soon I'll be blogging every car in the motor show review guides from 1965-1978, starting with the AC Cobra from the 1965 guide and ending with the slightly less exciting Volvo 245 DL from the 1978 guide.
Some of the posts will include the comments of the guides' original owner, from the rather predictable 'Good, Great, Fab' for the Aston Martin DB6 to the downright cheeky 'No good. Woman's car' for the Triumph Herald 12/50 and a brutally abrupt 'Ugh!' for the Rover 3-Litre Mk III.
It'll be a little while before I start properly (imagine scanning all 14 guides and you'll get an idea of the task ahead), but believe me it will be worth sticking with because there will be some wonderful motoring memories along the way.
From time to time I'll also include some of the better advertisements from the guides too, and to hopefully whet your appetite here's the Rootes advertisement that graced the back cover of the 1965 guide.
