The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it
the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its
origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become
a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the
world. This book discusses the company's highs and lows, through
two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It
documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design
features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans,
buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances. First-hand descriptions
of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products
such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why
their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made. It also
analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and
explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over
the years. Finally, the company's future opportunities and
challenges are considered. The author, Andy Goundry, has not only
drawn on his own personal experience of almost twenty years of
employment with the company but he has drawn on what is left of the
company archives, private collections and first-hand accounts, to
produce this book as a salutation of over 125 years of continuous
manufacturing.

This book offers a unique perspective within the luxury automobile
industry in which the author, a Ferrari dealer, recounts a lifetime
with the iconic car brand. Chapters detail a wide range of
experiences, like a nonstop drive in a 308GTB from Chicago to
Boston; rides with important figures like Piero Ferrari and Dario
Benuzzi; and a visit to the Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini
factories at Maranello. This book follows one man's
all-encompassing journey with Ferraris. First a fan, then a
salesman and a dealer, the author offers numerous insights into the
life cycle of a Ferrari, from production to sales.
Each 96 page, hard cover book in the series is 10 1/2" x 7 5/8" and
contains color and black and white photos, drawings, charts, and
catalog facsimiles. Each classic model is presented in its historic
and developmental aspects.
My Cool Campervan celebrates a new wave of interest in modern-retro
campervans. Join Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon as they set off
on a 3500-mile trip to locate campervans and proud owners, sharing
their memories of family holidays under candy-striped pop-top roofs
and of sunny days and simple pleasures. Delve into a world of
road-tripping as Jane and Chris introduce us to a succession of
distinctive campervans, memorable locations and classic models, at
times beautifully restored, and at others well-loved and well-used.
My Cool Campervan reveals a world beyond the stereotype, of vintage
vans from another era, forgotten rarities and beautifully restored
mass-produced models. Chapters include: Old Retro: In the 1970s and
80s as the motor industry turned its sights towards the global
market, campervan designs began to change. Simple Life: Exploring
functional campervans where styling doesn't overwhelm function and
where vans are so well designed in the first place, there's nothing
more to add than the journey. Weird and Wonderful: From a converted
French fire truck, to an 'extension' to a regular saloon car, these
campers are customized, unusual and have been created to provide
space. American Beauties: The large American Recreational Vehicles,
or RVs, fulfill just about everyone's expectations of a comfortable
life on the road. The enduring appeal of the RV lies in its iconic
design and long association with the romantic notion of the great
road journey. Classics: Some vehicle designs last longer than
others. The VW T2 campervan is, without doubt, the front runner.
New Retro: Reflecting owners' unique styles and interest, the
vehicles here function as an artist's workroom or as a
photographer's studio; these are not only places to camp out or
chill out, they are happy extensions of creative lives.

Here is a new edition of Clausager's classic book Original MG T
Series, first published in 1989 and never out of print since. For
this edition fresh in-depth photography of all models from TA of
1936 to TF of 1954 has been commissioned, the text has been
thoroughly overhauled to incorporate new knowledge, and chapters
have been added on pre-T Series MG Midgets and on coachbuilt and
special-bodied cars. The MG T Series, and in particular the TC
model of 1945-49, represent the treasured archetype of the British
sports car - instantly recognisable and as popular today as they
have consistently been throughout the decades.
The MGA truly marked a revolution in MG sports car design, with its
appearance quite unlike any previous production car from the
celebrated British marque. Entering production in the summer of
1955, it broke with the time-honoured tradition of narrow-gutted,
flat-sides, upright styling, with the distinctive large grille,
exposed headlamps, separate wings and sharply cut-off tail that had
serviced the majority of MG sports cars for well over thirty years.
Many die-hard MG enthusiasts of the time were understandably
outraged, but the decision to break with tradition proved to be a
good one: over 100,000 cars were produced over the model's
seven-year lifetime. This book, from celebrated author David
Knowles covers: the circumstances that led to the momentous
decision to amek such a fundamental design change; the production,
publicity and evolution of each and every MGA variant from launch
in 1955 to the end of production in 1962, with specification tables
for each model; profiles of the people who had crucial roles in the
development of the MGA and finally, the largely untold story of
overseas assembly in Australia, Ireland, Mexico and South Africa.

This book takes the reader behind the scenes at Maranello
Concessionaires Ltd, Britain's famous Surrey-based importer of
Ferraris founded by Colonel Ronnie Hoare. When Neill Bruce first
photographed a Ferrari road car, a Dino 246 GT, in 1971, his work
so impressed the powers-that-be at Maranello Concessionaires that
they commissioned him to do all their promotional photography
thereafter. Whether shooting production cars, factory scenes or
motor show stands, he has been in Ferrari's orbit ever since. In
this illustrated memoir of his 50 years with Ferraris, he presents
some of his best pictures - the great majority in colour - and
tells engaging stories about how they came about, including some of
the mishaps along the way. All Ferrari enthusiasts will be
captivated by this delightful book.
I can't think of anywhere I'd less like to be than in a car. When
you're driving a car, you're not taking part, you're a spectator.
You're in a can; if it's cold you turn up the heating, if you're
hungry you have a wine gum. You might be looking at what's going
on, but you're definitely not a part of it. A BIKER'S LIFE is the
dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of one of the most
recognisable names in motorcycling. Henry Cole's passion for
motorbikes began when, at the age of eight, he was first introduced
to a 'man cave'. His great-uncle Redbeard's corrugated iron shed
was 'stuffed to the gills with old motorbikes' which Henry helped
rebuild and ride. Since then, Henry's life can be charted through
the bikes and journeys he has been on - from a stifling
public-school education, via many years battling addiction, to the
big-sky iconic routes Henry has ridden for over twenty series as
presenter of numerous TV shows. This book reminds millions of
motorcyclists why their bike gives them the freedom to be exactly
who they want to be: to say 'Fuck you, fuck the world, I'm doing my
thing.' When you ride a motorbike you become part of a worldwide
community of kindred spirits - those of us who will not be pacified
by driving a car, but instead live for adventure, escape and the
sheer thrill of the throttle.
