A-Z of Popular Scooters & Microcars

This is mainly a photographic reference book to 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 Dan became interested in these then newly-arrived forms of transport. Eventually Mike 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 lifetime enthusiast.

Review from Scooter-forums.com, May 2007:

'...This is a lovely book, stuffed full of gorgeous photographs and period brochures and sales leaflets. With over 250 pages, there's plenty of detail to keep you going, but the book's style makes for an easy read too. And, as with other Veloce publications, the book is beautifully laid out and printed, so it's great to have on the coffee table'.
