The worlds fastest saloon car of the time was the Healey Elliot, this car was produced by Brits. Sydney Allord produced salon versions of his sports cars they were not so fast but still were reliable cars.
The Jaguar car company built their saloons in this era which were larger and more luxurious but along similar lines to Allords saloon cars. The French then produced two saloon cars which were made by Citroen, the larger was the Citroen Traction, the much smaller but very popular Citroen 2CV.
Saloon cars were even produced by the proud and great Rolls Royce as there was not a great demand for luxury cars after the war, therefore Rolls Royce started producing The Silver Dawn saloon, with a standard factory body in 1947, by 1951 the normal Rolls and Bentley products were only distinguishable by their badges and radiators. Rolls Royce had taken over Bentley in 1931, they were still magnificent cars and were still classed as the best cars in the world. Saloon cars continued to improve with the Bentley continental reaching speeds up to 120 miles per hour.
Meanwhile Jaguar cars were hard at work designing a new saloon complete with a new body and engine called the Jaguar Mark V11, which was a very attractive machine and was classed and still considered by many as the very best of the Jaguar Saloons.
At this time the established car manufacturer, Armstrong Siddeley even started to produce some fairly standard and basic saloon cars targeting the main market. This was until they produced the Sapphire which was great car and excellent value for money, but suffered from extreme competition from Jaguar saloon and the cheaper Rover saloon models.
In the smaller saloon classes the Sunbeam Talbot was a great success, produced by the Rootes Group in Coventry England. It is hard to believe but even Maserati of Italy produced saloon models in the 1960s to meet the demand of the market. However this was short lived and Maserati returned to what they do best in producing luxury high performance sports models. However their saloon car the Quattro porter did sell very well.
The saloon car is now the most produced car by all of the main car manufacturers and these vehicles cover the breadth of the car market from luxury saloons to basic models. Therefore the price range is extremely broad from the lowest price cars to some of the most expensive on the market.
There are a wide of variety of saloon cars to hire. |
