Spare Wheel - An Anthology of Cars Worthy of Every Make

They weren't born lucky, the cars in the book ‘Reserveblik’. Some were put together so ingeniously that the general public couldn't grasp them; others suffered from major marketing blunders or an unbalanced mix of features. Since 2009, the Elk Merk Waardig association has championed these outcasts and put together a unique publication to mark its tenth anniversary. It features a motley mix of thirty models you could never have imagined bringing together. The first time you flick through it, your eyebrows will already rise in surprise, and that surprise only grows when you start reading.

‘Reserveblik’ is divided into short chapters, one per car, making it an easy read between soup and the main course. The various authors were given complete freedom in writing their pieces, resulting in a variety of perspectives threaded through with fresh insights, knowledge of quirky facts, and humor. To finally give these unknown and misunderstood models the spotlight they deserve, the book showcases a wealth of colorful images. An absolute must-have for anyone who looks beyond the usual success stories that get plenty of publicity everywhere. ‘Reserveblik’ comes with a standard smile guarantee.
