Description
The 1980s were a time of great change in the world of cars. Brash and loud, the decade saw a significant leap in durability, performance, equipment, and style. Japanese quality and European design were increasingly influential, with features like fuel injection, turbochargers, and computer-controlled systems becoming commonplace. This was also a decade that brought new classes of car, such as the people-carrier and the off-roader, which radically reshaped family transport. The 1980s were a time of significant technological and social change, and the cars of the era reflect this. The introduction of seatbelts became mandatory, the M25 motorway opened, and speed cameras appeared, while ram-raiding became a growing concern. For car enthusiasts, this was a decade that offered a unique blend of style, performance, and innovation. Giles Chapman explores the cars of the 1980s in this engaging and informative book, which offers a fascinating look at the decade's most iconic vehicles.
