Following his outstandingly successful books Works Escorts in
Detail and Works Triumphs in Detail, rally veteran and historian
Graham Robson now tackles the story of Ford's emergence during the
1960s as a leader in international saloon car competition, whether
in race or rally, beginning with the Mark 1 Cortina in 1962. Walter
Hayes was the driving force behind this push forward. It was he who
enlisted Colin Chapman to create the Lotus-Cortina, he who had bold
ideas like entering the Safari Rally and the London-Sydney
Marathon, he who brought in Alan Mann Racing to wipe the board in
touring car racing, he who attracted top-flight drivers like Roger
Clark, Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Pat Moss, and he who inspired
Ford's quite dazzling success in national and international
competition. The career of every works Mark I and Mark II Cortina,
Lotus-Cortina, Capri and Corsair is individually recounted in this
book, with contemporary action photographs and listings of events
entered, results and drivers, along with accounts of performances
in rallies and races. In addition there are specially commissioned
colour photographs of a number of surviving works cars, which have
been shot in considerable detail. For fans of the race and rally
Fords of these glory days, as well as for motor sport enthusiasts,
this book is pure treasure.

Millions follow Mike and Edd's collectable car adventures on
Discovery Channel's Wheeler Dealer series, now in its ninth year
and shown all around the world. Here's the book to accompany the
series. See Mike's video introduction below. The Wheeler Dealer
Know How! is written by Mike Brewer, cheeky chappie and TV's
best-known car dealing expert. In a career spanning almost 30
years, Mike has seen and done everything when it comes to buying
and selling cars, and having established a successful career as a
television presenter, is eager to share his knowledge, passion and
enthusiasm for cars. Telling you all you need to know about buying,
preparing and selling modern classic cars, this book guides you
through the minefield that is the world of car dealing, and helps
you avoid the pitfalls that await the unwary. Plus, with stories
and anecdotes from Mike's time in the trade, you'll gain a
fascinating insight into the world of wheeler-dealing. Packed full
of information and tips, The Wheeler Dealer Know How will give you
the confidence to buy the car of your dreams and avoid ending up
with a lemon. You'll find out how to prepare a car to expert
standards - from cleaning, to repairs and improvements - and when
the time comes to sell, Mike tells you how to get the best price

The traditional utility Land Rover remains as much an enthusiast's
choice as ever now that its production has been ended. Between 1948
and 2016, there was a far greater variety of models produced - an
astonishing 300-plus - than even the most ardent enthusiasts
recognise, and this comprehensive and highly illustrated book is a
guide to all of them - both those built in Britain and those built
(often with unique features) overseas. Laid out with an
easy-to-follow catalogue format, this book offers masses of detail
on both production variants and also on many that never went beyond
the prototype stage, as well as on the multiple special editions
that were sold around the world in more recent years.

This is a maintenance and repair manual for the DIY mechanic.
(from the book) The year was 1978 and I was sitting in the back
booth of the Pizza Hut in Mulvane, Kansas, splitting a deep pan
with my good friend, Darryl Starbird. Our friendship was close, and
I had always respected his opinion on just about anything to do
with the automobile, and especially the “kustom” vehicle. Not
only is Darryl a champ at building kustom creations, he is also one
of the top auto show producers in the U.S. For some 21 years I had
been in the shadow of this high-energy, often unbelievable, man
helping him build cars and produce car shows–a schooling that
isn’t available in any six-month course or college anywhere. I
had cruised with him on the high roads, and crashed with him on the
low shoulders. Believe me, auto show producing is not for the weak
or conservative. But my interest was up, boosted by a recent
writeup on ‘49-’51 Mercs, and front cover spread of a chopped
‘51 Mercury, by Street Rodder magazine, which at the time was
predominantly a “pre-’48” street rod magazine. Someone shared
an interest I felt I might be the[…]”

This is a general interest trade book that describes the
development of automotive technology and engineering from the start
of the industry before 1900 to the present day. It explains how
various systems and elements in the automobile work in layman's
terms, without resorting to mathematics, and highlights the
keymilestones in the historical development of automotive
technology. All photos and illustrations are in full color. The
intended audience is older teens to adults of any age who are
interested in the subject and may be involved in it as a hobby.
Sometimes referred to as "gearheads" or "motorheads", they form a
huge market. Over the years many of the author's engineering
students were in this category, and he often would meet with
on-campus car clubs to explain the way things automotive worked,
being careful to damp down or eliminate any complicated
mathematics, as he does in this book. An Internet search found only
titles that are either "hard-engineering oriented" -- such as
publications from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) -- or
mere compendiums of dates. Books in the latter category note the
milestones but without hardly any explanation at all of how these
developments actually work in a technical sense - which is the aim
of this book. "Automotive Milestones, by Robert L. Norton, is about
all the mechanisms that are needed in an automobile and how they
work. The book consists of eight main chapters, each one covering a
major mechanical system of the automobile plus a summary chapter
and appendices. There are numerous photographs and illustrations
used throughout the book to support the concepts discussed. The
author has thoroughly researched the subject and leaves the reader
with a new appreciation of what has been tried over the nearly 250
years of automobile history. The book is logically organized and
clearly explained in a way that only a person with in-depth
knowledge could do. His latest book is Automotive Milestones which
provides the cornerstones of a thorough understanding of automobile
technology. If you are just looking for a general understanding of
the automobile, looking for inspiration in support of a new idea,
or just want a concise history of automotive milestones, this book
is a must read."-Parker Ackley, Antique Automobile Enthusiast Did
you ever wonder?... Who formed the first automobile company in
America? When and who made the first fully automatic transmission?
(Hint: it was not GM in 1939) What is the difference between sprung
and unsprung weight in a car, and why does it matter? When did the
frame of a car get replaced by the unibody? How does a differential
work? It took more than 100 years to develop the modern automobile.
This book presents a very readable and informative description of
this evolution. The author, Robert Norton, is an engineer with many
years of experience in the design of machinery. Automotive
Milestomes is a clear presentation of the internal workings of the
automobile over the years. No matter whether you are a seasoned car
buff or just curious to learn more about the history of cars, you
will enjoy reading this book.-William J. Crochetiere, Professor
Emeritus, Tufts University Robert L. Norton, P.E. has 50 years
experience in the practice and teaching of mechanical engineering.
He holds undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering and
industrial technology from Northeastern University, and a M.S. in
engineering design from Tufts University. Having designed cams for
camera mechanisms at Polaroid Corporation, he subsequently spent
many years doing design work at Gillette and many other companies.
He taught kinematics, dynamics, stress analysis, and machine design
to mechanical engineering students for more than 40 years at
Northeastern, Tufts, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he
