Lifting Pre-War into Post-War

We love 1950s Specials and so had to share this fantastic little 1958 British Pathe film here, showing how a tired family saloon of 11 pounds, with some elbow grease and a little help from a friend, could be turned in a super sleek sports car. That's a Falcon Mk1 you see here. It's one of the better known Specials out of thousands designed and built in the UK in the 1950s. A great number of them will appear in a book that we are eagerly awaiting. It's called 'Special Obsessions' by Les Brown, who built and owned a wide variety of those cars himself.
