1970s Sports and Grand Tourers

The Seventies is an interesting era for the car especially the more expensive kind which I tend to feature in this blog. The sixities where a golden age for the Grand Tourer, opening with the Jaguar E Type and closing with the Ferrari Daytona, but the Seventies brought numerous changes for these types of cars not always for the better. Tougher Safety  requirements brought changes in requirements for car styling (usually not for the better), and the oil crises which blighted much of the seventies drove away many customers and drove manufacturers to the brink and beyond of bankruptcy.
