Whats this car?Think you know it?Take another look; is it really what you remember?The 1960s is regarded as the cradle of the classic car, but these are the tantalising ones that got away An astonishing number of fascinating models have sidestepped nostalgia to lurk in the underground carpark of our collective memory, as youll rediscover inside with these sixty missing marvels. Glorious pictures help relay the era, and a sprinkling of rare show cars demonstrates the Neverland of contemporary car-design thinking.In this turbulent decade, brave new engine technology was championed and then rejected; design trends suddenly exploded; and car buyers became unpredictable. The cars in this book sometimes suffered as a result although some of them were just plain odd!Lost Cars of the 1960s is the final part of award-winning author Giles Chapmans Lost Cars trilogy, which records the unsung sideshows of motoring history from around the world.

Padstow boasts a rich history spanning nearly 5,000 years. Here, its legacy is compiled through the centuries, from the legend of St Petrocs arrival on the north Cornish coast to build his famed monastery, through the expansion of Padstows port during the medieval period and the rise of the shipbuilding industry in the early nineteenth century, to the arrival of the railway in 1899, which marked the beginning of a thriving tourism industry in Padstow.Today, modern Padstow remains a working fishing port, and the spectacular views of the Camel Estuary, the attractive harbour, narrow winding lanes, old cottages and the beautiful ancient church add to its charm. Padstonians are a close-knit community, some families having lived there for generations, who work to keep Padstows traditions alive for many years into the future. Padstow: The History of a Cornish Town collates this long history, preserving the tale of a fascinating, resilient town.
