People may wonder why I began our look at the past in the sixties. Besides that for me personally, it was the decade as a youngster I became fascinated by cars, but mainly it is a period when UK car Manufacturers were arguably at their peak. Also, some marques common today did not exist then, such as Audi and Nissan. While others such as Auto Union and Glas did, but who remembers them or their wonderfully elegant and stylish motors? Discovering cars that have been and gone yet deserve recognition is one of the goals of Still Motoring.
