Ant Anstead's Building a Special brings the Haynes story full
circle, coming 61 years after the original Building a 750 Special
was written by John Haynes, Haynes Publishing's founder, when he
was still a schoolboy. This book is a TV tie-in, following the
12-part TV series Ant Anstead Master Mechanic, aired on Motor
Trend, part of the Discover Network in the US and UK, following Ant
Anstead's build of his own-design 'special' car, taking inspiration
from the Alfa 158 - the first World Championship-winning F1 car,
which raced from the 1930s until the 1950s. The 12-part TV series
followed Ant's build of the car, from the first design ideas,
through the construction, culminating in the debut of the car
during the 2019 US Grand Prix weekend in Austin, Texas. The book
follows Ant's personal build of the car, from the selection of the
donor MG TD for the chassis, and Alfa Romeo Spider for the engine
and gearbox, through modifying the chassis, building the
suspension, steering, brakes, bodywork and interior, and putting
all the components together to produce a finished one-off
'special.' Content includes: Introduction The history of specials
Planning Donor car Chassis, suspension, steering, rear axle Engine,
fuel system, cooling system, ancillaries, exhaust Gearbox Bodywork
Braking system Cockpit Wiring Preparation and painting Testing
Setting up and Making road legal.
If you can recall the golden era of motorcycle sport then this is
undoubtedly the book for you. Featuring sixteen scramblers and one
and six days trials stars, this is a must read for all who lined
the circuits on muddy Sundays and were glued to their TV sets on
Winter afternoons. Author Andy Westlake is regarded as one of the
UK's leading classic motorcycle journalists and this book is the
perfect follow-up to his two previous books "Off Road Giants"
volumes one and two. In this third volume Andy has once again
managed to track down and interview some of the stars of this
golden era in off road sport, including the former works Greeves
rider and 250cc European champion Dave Bickers, ex works BSA star
John Banks, and has even journeyed to Spain to interview Les
Archer, the man who lifted the European 500cc crown on his works
Norton in the mid 'fifties. A superbly written book brought alive
by many excellent period photographs.

Full-time four-wheel drive transformed road cars in the
nineteen-eighties, adding speed, excitement and safety and the
Ferguson Formula was at the heart of that revolution. Though the
Audi quattro made the world sit up and take notice of full-time
four-wheel drive, its technology was not available to any other
maker and indeed Audi came to adopt Ferguson technology in their
next generation of quattro models. Full-time four-wheel drive was
the dream of racing driver Fred Dixon, to make cars safer on the
road. Harry Ferguson, of tractor-making fame, backed the idea and,
under the control of Le Mans winner Tony Rolt the talented
engineering team built some astonishing cars, sometimes behind the
scenes and in secrecy. Traction for Sale is the story of two
companies; Harry Ferguson Research, which did all the backbreaking
development work and FF Developments, who succeeded in delivering
the technology to the world's car makers. In telling the story of
the Ferguson Formula, the book brings life some of the most
remarkable cars of the '60s, '70s and '80s, from the Jensen FF, the
first car in the world with full-time, automatic four-wheel drive,
through the development vehicles like the Ford Zephyr V6 and Ford
Mustang 4x4, the Capri 4x4 and the British Army's top-secret Opel
Senators, to competition cars like the astonishing Lotus 56 turbine
Indy and F1 cars, rally cars like the Ford RS200, MG Metro 6R4 and
Lancia Delta Integrale and on to production cars like the legendary
Sierra XR4x4 and Escort Cosworth Turbo and the original Volvo XC90.
This book is indispensable reading for all Ford and Jensen
enthusiasts, students of the British motor industry and anyone
interested in 80s-era 4x4 road and rally cars.
This new book deals with the primarily busy routes that were very
well served by trolleybuses during their 31 years in London. Each
chapter includes new research and the pre-war, wartime and post-war
operations are all covered, as is - for the first time - the
planning of the conversion programme that in due course saw the end
of London trolleybus operation. Well illustrated in carefully
selected black and white photographs.
The increase in air pollution and vehicular emissions has led to
the development of the renewable energy-based generation and
electrification of transportation. Further, the electrification
shift faces an enormous challenge due to limited driving range,
long charging time, and high initial cost of deployment. Firstly,
there has been a discussion on renewable energy such as how wind
power and solar power can be generated by wind turbines and
photovoltaics, respectively, while these are intermittent in
nature. The combination of these renewable energy resources with
available power generation system will make electric vehicle (EV)
charging sustainable and viable after the payback period. Recently,
there has also been a significant discussion focused on various EV
charging types and the level of power for charging to minimize the
charging time. By focusing on both sustainable and renewable
energy, as well as charging infrastructures and technologies, the
future for EV can be explored. Developing Charging Infrastructure
and Technologies for Electric Vehicles reviews and discusses the
state of the art in electric vehicle charging technologies, their
applications, economic, environmental, and social impact, and
integration with renewable energy. This book captures the state of
the art in electric vehicle charging infrastructure deployment,
their applications, architectures, and relevant technologies. In
addition, this book identifies potential research directions and
technologies that facilitate insights on EV charging in various
charging places such as smart home charging, parking EV charging,
and charging stations. This book will be essential for power system
architects, mechanics, electrical engineers, practitioners,
developers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students
interested in the problems and solutions to the state-of-the-art
status of electric vehicles.
