  • The Family Man's Sports Car, the Light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback
    The Family Man’s Sports Car, The light Sports Saloon and Hot Hatchback. Part One 1920 to 1980 Alvis 12/75 sports saloon The hot hatch back has been with us since the mid seventies, sporting version’s of the small family hatch back saloons that had come to replace in much of the world the smaller booted/trunk saloon car. Of late many of the hot hatch models of this century have been fitted with ever increasingly larger engines in the relentless quest for even more speed, but there are still some models in production with modest sized engines in the spirit of the original hot hatches and the light sports saloons that came before them, with capacities up to 1600cc’s. What do I mean by light sports saloon, I am referring to the kind of light car, that is one with a moderate size engine, that was purchased not just for transport but one that will provide an increased degree of performance that will enhance the pleasure of motoring and that in some cases could take part in motorsport of one form or another. The sports saloon was a very British thing in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, with quite a few models on offer with that description, but for many of them it was unwarranted and I have only mentioned those with a sporting connection here. In most of the world in that period light cars were usually just for transport and if a sporting car was required it had a larger engine ,some times very large.
