After World War I, there was a great hunger for cars in Britain.
Many servicemen had learned to drive and had money from their
demobilization grants to spend, but British factories were not
immediately able to get back into car production, so they looked to
America for automobiles. In 1919, two out of every five cars on
British roads were Fords built in England, and in 1925, General
Motors took over British manufacturer Vauxhall. Hudson also became
a prolific assembler during this time and Chrysler built an
assembly plant in Kew. This volume features numerous photographs
and commentary on many makes of American cars that could be seen on
British roads before the beginning of World War II. Allard, Buick,
Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Durant, Duryea, Essex, Ford,
Hudson, Jewett, La Salle, Oldsmobile, Overland, Packard, Plymouth,
Saxon, Stanley, Studebaker, Stutz and White are among the
manufacturers whose cars are included. The author provides a
concise description of each automobile he covers, and points out
its interesting features and technical details (horsepower and
engine size, for example).
Haynes manuals are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer,
yet are complete enough to be used by professional mechanics. Since
1960 Haynes has produced manuals written from hands-on experience
based on a vehicle teardown with hundreds of photos and
illustrations, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair
information.
The American automobile industry has been called the favorite child
of capitalism. Four decades of exceptional earnings allowed Henry
Ford, William Durant and Alfred Sloan (both of General Motors),
Walter Chrysler and their companies to make developments in
production, design and marketing that have set the standard for
consumer products and industrial firms. Four men, the subjects of
this book, are primarily responsible for these concepts and for the
formation of "the big three." New research lends important insight
into the relationship of Walter Chrysler's business career to the
careers of the other three. The first four parts detail the career
histories and visions of each of the men. Part 5 discusses each
man's commitment to and belief about the potential of the
automobile market and the sheer luck that was such a factor for all
of them.
At over 900,000 cars produced - and counting - the Mazda MX-5 holds
the Guinness World Record as the best-selling two-seater sports car
ever produced. And while mere numbers should not be the only
barometer of success, it has taken a car of the MX-5's talent to
capture the imagination of both enthusiasts and the general
motoring public alike.

When the Range Rover Sport was launched in 2005, it was aimed at a
new group of customers who in many cases would never have
considered a Land Rover product before. These customers wanted and
could afford a luxurious vehicle that was expensive to run; but
they also wanted a very personalized vehicle that did not have the
rather grand and conservative connotations of the full-size Range
Rover. Brasher and more glamorous than its older sibling, the Sport
was soon adopted by celebrities and others who expected to be
noticed. Range Rover Sport - The Complete Story is the first book
devoted specifically to the first-generation Range Rover Sport. It
tells the story behind the development and launch of the vehicle;
it explains the market reaction, including contemporary press
reviews; provides details of each model with technical
specification tables and colour and trip options; lists production
figures and VIN identification and dating; details prices and sales
figures for the UK, USA and Canada and finally, includes a useful
chapter on buying and owning.
A handy guidebook to all the Morris cars produced between 1948 and
1984. Morris was a prominent marque in Britain and around the world
from the outset of production in 1913. In the postwar era Morris
cars were exported throughout the world and many were assembled in
overseas plants. Many Morris models retain an enthusiastic
following today, even though the last car was produced in 1984.
Illustrated in full colour, and with detailed information including
colour schemes, optional equipment and technical specifications,
this is a complete catalogue of the cars of that era, and will be
an invaluable identification guide for anyone interested in these
classic British cars. Written by marque expert, Ray Newell, who has
had a long association with Morris Cars, been Secretary of the
Morris Minor Owners Club since 1983, and a founder member of the
Morris Vehicles Association in 2013.

BSA was once the world's most successful motorcycle company,
manufacturing more machines than any other in the world by the
mid-1950s. And yet, after winning the Queens Award to Industry for
exports in 1967 and 1968, it collapsed into bankruptcy in 1973.
This is an epic story of rise and fall, even by the precarious
standards of the British motorcycle industry. With over 170
illustrations, this book recalls the founding of the company and
its foray into bicycle and then motorcycle production. It describes
the evolution of the various models of motorcycles including
specification tables and discusses the diversification into cars,
commercial vehicles and guns for Spitfires. It recounts the
successes - two Maudes Trophies and numerous racing victories, and
documents the fall from grace to bankruptcy and beyond.
'Speckled with anecdotes, insights and surprises. It is great fun -
and utterly timely' Sunday Times 'Standage writes with a masterly
clarity' New York Times 'The product of deep research, great
intelligence and burnished prose . . . It is rare that I encounter
a non-fiction author whose prose is so elegant that it is worth
reading for itself. Standage is a writer of this class' Wall Street
Journal Beginning around 3,500 BC with the wheel, and moving
through the eras of horsepower, trains and bicycles, Tom Standage
puts the rise of the car - and the future of urban transport - into
a broader historical context. Our society has been shaped by the
car in innumerable ways, many of which are so familiar that we no
longer notice them. Why does red mean stop and green mean go? Why
do some countries drive on the left, and some on the right? How did
cars, introduced only a little over a century ago, change the way
the world was administered, laid out and policed, along with
experiences like eating and shopping? And what might travel in a
post-car world look like? As social transformations from
ride-sharing to the global pandemic force us to critically
re-examine our relationship with personal transportation, A Brief
History of Motion is an essential contribution to our understanding
of how the modern world came to be.
