As I run a pretty large car website, with reviews of almost 2000 different models, I need to look up rare models from time to time.

On Friday I happened across the 2006-2007 edition of World of Cars in WH Smith for £6.95. I initially assumed it would be fairly limited in coverage, rather like the Daily Express car guides from years gone by. I couldn’t have been more wrong; although the guide only covers current cars, it claims to detail 8,500 models (including kit cars), and every model I could think of was there, including such rare beasts as the Pyonghwa Motors Hwiparam from North Korea.

I thoroughly recommend tracking down a copy.
