The book tells the complete story of the Range Rover in UK Police
service from 1971 until the present day; a record unsurpassed by
any other Police vehicle. The book covers the Range Rover's

by UK Police forces in the last 50 years. Also featured are a
number of ex-Police Range Rovers that have survived to be preserved
as historic vehicles. The book contains 260 pages and over 300
photographs, most of which have never been seen in print before.

overwhelmed by the scale of the task, or simply unsure of what was
involved? This unique publication brings that experience to life,

order model for Sir Cliff Richard. With the assistance of official
Porsche illustrations and Porsche part numbers, the reader is led

unique perspective to each of the projects undertaken, showing that

various generations of air-cooled Porsche 911, and recently had a
car showcased at Porsche 70th birthday celebrations.
Encompassing the full development of the Triumph 2000, from the
early Vanguard model to the Mark 2 models, this book covers the
revolutionary aspects of Triumph engineering, including the
small-capacity six-cylinder engine and independent suspension, as
well as the iconic Michelotti design and quality cabin. Packed with
detail, the full evolution of the Mark 1 model is described, along
with the introduction of the Mark 2 version, which was to have
considerable success as a rally car. The Triumph 2000 is also
compared to its main British competitor, the Rover P6. The journey
finishes with the takeover by British Leyland, and all the
subsequent implications for Triumph. Kevin Warrington offers an
essential guide to the Triumph 2000, with a wide range of
photographs and features.
