Sinossi
Nothing less than a catalogue of the most courageous motoring disasters of all time, Tony Davis has stepped behind the wheel of some of the world's most notoriously bad cars. From the 1958 Ford Edsel, which made 'Edsel' a byword for failure, to the much-loved travesty that was the P76 (when people took in the P76 for warranty work they provided a list of things that didn't need fixing), these cars really are the pits. Bad design, appalling execution, ridiculous pretensions, ludicrous names -- this detailed and hilarious look at automotive atrocities from the 1950s to the present day is nothing les than a motoring Hall of Shame.
101 of the world's most downright awful cars are given the once-over, from the East German Trabant, with its cotton-reinforced body, to the dafter-than-you'd-believe-possible Lightburn Zeta Sports, via the Corvair, Cedric, Pinto and Imp. It's all here -- the harebrained, the unsightly, the excruciatingly dull and the magnificently unsuccessful.
From Alfa to Zeta, from the tiny to the gargantuan, and from the endearingly incompetent to the bombastically stupid, Naff Motors will leave you not only laughing, but also wondering how so many car manufacturers got away with so much for so long.

Descrizione del libro
The best of the worst -- heroic failures of motoring, in all their glory
L'autore
Tony Davis, a senior writer and editor with the Sydney Morning Herald, has written about cars for nearly twenty years. He has driven some of the fastest, most expensive, and most impressive vehicles ever built, yet retains a bizarre fascination with cars at the other end of the spectrum, those built by engineers who, as he puts it, 'think a tour de force is a bicycle race'.
