British Car Stories

Summary This book contains personal stories on the ownership, enjoyment, challenges and unplanned learnings caused by the availability in the 1960's of low cost, used British cars. It covers the buying, driving, repairing and quirks of a selection of British (and a couple of relevant non-British) marques the author ran into, including Hillman, Austin Healey, Triumph, MG, Sunbeam and others that were bought cheap and repaired on tiny budgets.Most were eventually also sold cheap, well before the current pricing for what are now considered vintage classics (typical lack of foresight for young "men") and demanding tens of thousands of dollars for a restored specimen. |

About the Author
Ken Woodard is a retired mechanical engineer with over half a century of experience in developing advanced aerospace related products - but he always said (facetiously maybe) that he'd rather own a junkyard. He's not a professional mechanic or body man for sure.Everything he learned was either from his father, Professor Keneth Woodard, Sr., or just by the necessity of having to do it yourself due to a lack of funds. It could also be just pride or even the Yankee cheapness that was probably inherited down the male side of the family tree. |
