My Dad Had One of Those – A BBC Top Gear Book

Spanning the 1950s to the ’80s, “My Dad had One of Those” is a book celebrating the heyday of the ‘Dad car’. From much loved family workhorses such as the Ford Cortina and Vauxhall Viva to the rakish excitement and playground kudos of the Rover 3500 and Citroen CX, all the great Dad cars are included. Reflecting a time before people carriers and lifestyle SUVs, when the nearest thing to an airbag was hiding behind your fatter sibling, this is a celebration of simple, honest cars that were as flawed and as loveable as your Dad himself. A trip up memory drive in the familiar cars your Dad knew and loved.
