Encyclopaedia of Classic Saloon Cars

**Encyclopaedia of Classic Saloon Cars** - because sometimes you need a good yarn about four doors and a boot.

This delightfully quirky novel from Patina Paperbacks follows Malcolm, a retired insurance clerk who discovers his late father's obsession with cataloguing every saloon car from 1950-1980. What starts as dusty paperwork becomes a cross-country adventure as Malcolm tracks down the stories behind each vehicle - from Morris Oxfords to Rover P6s.

Themes of family legacy, British motoring heritage, and finding purpose in unexpected places make this perfect for readers who enjoy gentle comedy, car enthusiasts with a sense of humour, and anyone who's ever inherited something completely baffling from a relative. The author crafts a warm, understated story that celebrates both automotive history and human connection.

This preloved copy shows character - much like the classic cars within its pages. Genre: contemporary fiction with automotive soul.
