This is mainly a photographic reference book on classic scooters and microcars with specification data presented in A to Z order of manufacturer. There are also nostalgic recollections by the author based on ownership and personal experience. In the middle 1950s, as a teenager, Mike became interested in these then newly-arrived forms of transport. Eventually he owned a series of scooters and a microcar. He became involved in scooter and microcar clubs, and took part in many local and national sporting events gaining a collection of awards and trophies. In the mid 1980s he had time again to visit many indoor and outdoor classic vehicle shows. Eventually this led to a renewed personal involvement in the restoration of a series of over twenty classic scooters and three classic microcars. This highly entertaining book and reference source is therefore written with the authority of a true lifetime enthusiast. THE AUTHOR
In 1957 Mike Dan left his home in Plymouth to start an apprenticeship in the aircraft Industry at Bristol. His transport was a series of scooters, culminating in a 250cc Dayton Albatross which was more suitable for long distance travelling and had a larger engine than most scooters of the time. He would have liked an even larger capacity scooter, but none was then available and conventional motorcycles did not appeal. In the1990s, when he retired, Mike became the owner of 400cc Suzuki Burgman Scooter and his wish as a lifetime enthusiast was fullfilled. SPECIFICATION
