Some people are passionate about golf, others about football or fishing. Then there are those who just love cars. This book is as much about people as it is about the cars they own: some rare, some unusual, some amazingly original. All these people have one thing in common: they own a part of automotive history, cars from a bygone era, and they are passionate about them, spending years in some cases looking for original parts to restore them. This book is a collection of articles first published in The Age. The car owners were not chosen solely because of the car they own or because of how long they might have owned it. They were chosen for the stories they have to tell and the fascination they hold for their cars.
