The 1928 quest for the Land Speed Record on the sands of Daytona
Beach was a first for America, a singular mix of technology,
thrills and tragedy. Tens of thousands lined the dunes along the
beach, a crowd larger than any yet seen at Indianapolis 500. Three
contenders, two Americans and a Briton, raced for the ultimate
distance-averaged top speed, in magnificent machines built by
different schools of design. This book chronicles the high-speed
drama. The top American driver, Frank Lockhart, 25, survived a
spectacular accident and rebuilt his Stutz Black Hawk, only to meet
his fate in the new runs. The facts and myths behind the
competition are examined in depth for the first time, along with
the innovations and fatal mistakes of vehicle design.
Named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Lotus's owner at the time,
Romano Artioli of Bugatti fame, the Lotus Elise was launched at the
Frankfurt Show in 1995. In the subsequent twenty-five years it has
not only established itself as the embodiment of what Lotus stands
for, it retains a unique place in the international sports car
market. No other manufacturer came up with a car to seriously rival
the Elise, nor the Exige, in terms of handling dexterity on both
road and racetrack, and it aptly characterizes the definition of a
sports car. Written in Johnny Tipler's inimitable style this book
includes a detailed evolution of the Elise and Exige, including
full specification tables; interviews with key individuals involved
in their design and development, including Richard Rackham, Gavan
Kershaw, Neil Thomas, Russell Carr, Barney Hatt and Andy Pleavin;
Elisa Artioli on her namesake, its past and future; motor sport
adaptions and successes and finally, driving experiences on road
and track. The production of the Elise and Exige was sustained
through four corporate upheavals. Now in Geely ownership, the
future for Lotus looks bright.

In the very beginning, the automotive industry was dominated by
open-top vehicles whose body shapes were very much based on the
horse-drawn carriage, there were open and closed carriages and then
there was the Coupe. These were developed from the type of carriage
known as the Berlin coach, which was designed as a classic vehicle
for individual luxury travel and prestige. This type of carriage
offered an intimate atmosphere focused exclusively on the
passengers; it did not even have space for luggage, it simply
exuded style, elegance and luxury in every way. This first volume
of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe book addresses the journey from what was
a functional sports car design to what has become the incomparable
Mercedes-Benz 'Sports Coupe'; its timeless body design has
remained, even today both a dream car and a dream Coupe to anyone
whom aspires to follow in the footsteps of the early individualists
who chose style and elegance over practicality. With over 300
photographs and illustrations, this book includes: an overview of
the early days of 'Sports-Car' design; the influences of
aerodynamics on design evolution; early protagonists at
Daimler-Benz and how they influenced design of the Coupe shape; how
the Racing Coupe influenced what became the production Sport Coupe;
the experimental and one-off prototypes, and finally the
continuation of the Super Sport Light concept through the 'S-Class'
range.
Visit any VW show and what do you find? Correct - wall-to-wall
Campers. Interest in the numerous conversions offered over the
years spirals ever-upwards as do asking prices for even the most
dilapidated examples of the first three generations and 40-years of
VW Bus conversions. But are there books to match? No - not, that
is, until VW Bus - 40 years of Splitties, Bays & Wedges was
conceived.As a direct consequence of the lack of print available,
author Richard Copping has collected a wealth of contemporary
brochures from all the leading converters, knitted them together
and produced a unique and vibrant story of the VW Camper from the
first and often rustic conversions of the 1950s to the
sophisticated homes on wheels of the late 1980s.Stripping out the
original text, Richard has carefully replaced it with his own
lively yet informative story - while carefully retaining both the
popular look and nostalgic feel of the age. From the untangling of
the many stories that contributed to VW Camper history to a
restorer's dream of detailed specifications and from the quirkiest
of marketing strategies amazingly and endearingly primitive in the
1950s to suavely sophisticated in the latter days, if the word
Camper is in it, it's covered.The meticulous reproduction of
advertising brochures, many of which can easily be the best part of
50-years old, make this a hard to put down coffee table volume for
some - a book with very much in vogue nostalgic visual appeal. For
others, the lure of a lively and informative story peppered with
carefully detailed pictures will ensure the book is a useful
reference to visit over and over again.This extensive collection of
rarely seen advertising material provides a unique background to a
much-needed book, designed to delight the multitude of VW Camper
fans far and wide.
The aim of this manual is to help readers get the best from their
vehicle. It provides information on routine maintenance &
servicing & the tasks are described & photographed in a
step-by-step sequence so that even a novice can do the work.

Humans are highly mobile but at a price: over a million people are
killed annually on the road, at least 30 times as many are injured,
of whom one in ten may be permanently disabled. How can we design a
road or highway or transport system so as to provide both a high
level of mobility and a high level of safety? For too long, from
the perspective of the road user, highway engineers have had to
employ their intuitions, personal experiences, shared "know-how"
and a "suck-it-and-see" approach in many elements of highway
design. Now the science of human behaviour can provide both
fundamental knowledge and principles to enable matching roadway and
transport system design to human strengths, limitations and
variability in performance; an understanding of human contributory
factors in accidents; and the undertaking of informed safety audits
and reviews. This book aims to help you ask the right questions
about the issues raised.
In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was
presented. It became known as the Amazon in Sweden and the 121 and
122S in export markets, the latter denoting a more sporty
derivative. However, despite its substantial appearance, all
Amazons were surprisingly fleet of foot - this was one of the most
sporty European saloons of the 1960s. With its elegant, timeless
styling the Amazon broke new ground for Volvo - and for passenger
cars as a whole. This new book covers the complete story of Volvo
Amazon, from 1956 onwards, including full production histories,
comprehensive specification details, and over 250 photographs. An
ideal resource for owners, or anybody with an interest in the
evolution of these classic cars.
