Now in paperback! Researched and written in Japan with the full
co-operation of the factory, here in definitive detail is the story
of the Honda S2000 - a series of open two-seaters that built on the
success of the NSX, helping the company justify its on-track
exploits with a proper line of sporting machinery. Successful
immediately, the S2000 models defended Honda's honour on the
tracks, but it was in the showrooms where the S2000 excelled. After
a major face-lift, it was eventually killed off in 2009, but is as
popular today as it ever was as a modern classic for enthusiasts.

carefully compiled and, in some instances, very rare photographs.
It presents the memorable mileposts - and bizarre diversions - in
an astonishingly long life. This is a rich visual tribute to the
genius and guts of these legendary vehicles.

Vauxhall cars have been central to motoring in Britain for over a
century. The company built a formidable reputation in its early
years with notable machines like the Prince Henry, the 30/98 and
the 1914 Grand Prix cars, and then moved into a more mainstream
area of the market, remaining in the forefront of innovation during
the 1930s. The post-1945 years saw the company as one of the
foremost in Britain, catering for family needs with cars like the
Velox, the Cresta, and the Victor, and then building the highly
successful Viva range of smaller models. Closely aligned with its
German cousin, Opel, Vauxhall relied increasingly on Opel's designs
after the mid-1970s. Astra, Cavalier, Nova and Carlton were among
the best-loved cars of their era, and no-one can forget the
giant-killing 176mph Lotus Carlton. This illustrated introduction
explores the history of Vauxhall cars from its beginning in 1903 to
the city cars and SUVs that have led the Vauxhall product lines, as
the company continues to excel in the twenty-first century.

Ernest Sheasby arrived in the small village of Corfe Castle in
Dorset around 1896. After ten years in employment, he set up shop
with a horse and carriage business. During the next few years, the
business grew, Sheasby purchased motor vehicles and two tea rooms
were opened to cater for visitors. After obtaining a school
contract to transport children, he purchased his first coaches;
sadly in 1932, he was fatally injured in an accident with one of
his coaches. Sheasby's family continued to operate the business and
the name South Dorset Coaches was introduced. The business expanded
and a further garage was opened in Wareham. In 1966, a rival coach
operator in Swanage was acquired and the family sold South Dorset
Coaches in 2005. Gloriously illustrated with many rare and
unpublished photographs, 99 Years of Coaching: The Story of
Sheasby's South Dorset Coaches lists most of the 120 vehicles that
were operated during the company's ninety-nine years as well as a
biography of the Sheasby family.

April 1946: the first 15 examples of the Vespa leave the Piaggio
factory. This was the beginning of a unique and unrepeatable story,
that of a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle that as well as leaving
an indelible trace in the history of transportation, has become an
authentic cult object for every generation that followed. Simple

the qualities that brought the popular scooter success on a global
level. 75 years on from the first Vespa, this book, an updated
version of the successful Vespa 70 Years (ISBN 9788879116398) ,
traces decade by decade the technical and stylistic evolution of
this timeless icon. All this without losing sight of aspects
associated with communications - ever a strong suit of the
Pontedera group - and the ever-increasing interest of collectors.
The title "Vespa. The complete history" is complemented by the book
"Vespa. All the models", published in 2020, which offers in a
single volume a systematic catalogue of every model and every
version produced by Piaggio.
