A service and repair manual for the Porsche 911.
In the world of grand touring cars, Aston Martin occupies a special
place. The English firm has always distinguished itself by its
restraint, by the elegance of its creations, by the discretion of
its style, by a reserve rarely observed in a universe that
willingly abandons itself to exuberance. This book is devoted to DB
models. David Brown relaunched the brand with emblematic cars,
including some models that later became legendary, like the famous
DB5 of James Bond. The history of Aston Martin over the past 70
years is organised around eight main designs. They are all strongly
typed; directly associated with their creators, and with the nature
of the successive owners of the company. Serge Bellu, a specialist
in the history of the automobile, has produced a superbly
illustrated book on the history of this typically British brand.

Ferrari 308, 328 and 348 traces the complete story of the four
models of Ferrari's V8-powered sports cars between 1973 and 1995 -
the cars that broke Ferrari out of the V6 and V12 moulds, with the
V8 becoming Ferrari's most popular engine choice in the final
decade of the twentieth century. The book covers the history and
development of Ferrari's new V8 engine, and the 308's daunting role
as successor to the popular Dino. There are specification tables
and production figures for the model variants, along with details
of concept cars and other related models, and a review of
competition exploits. The book also considers the cars' current
position in the classic car market and offers insight into the
rewarding ownership experience each of the models now represents.

BMW, that most performance-oriented of car companies, had no
affordable sports roadster in its line-up before 1995. Stung into
action by Mazda's revival of the classic two-seater roadster, the
Germany company quickly staked its claim with the Z3, a classic
long-nose, short-tail design that used existing BMW mechanical
hardware to good effect. This new book tells the story of BMW's Z3
and Z4 two-seater roadsters and coupes, which since 1995 have been
at the forefront of the affordable sports car market. The history
of the Z3 and both generations of Z4 are covered as well as full
specifications of all models; the formidable M Power derivatives
and a guide to buying and owning. The book is profusely illustrated
with over 200 colour photographs and diagrams. Historical
background to BMW's arrival in the two-seater sports car market

Many books have been published about Japanese motorcycles, but
none has focused exclusively on the Japanese motorcycle-based
chopper, bobber, trike, and quad custom bike scene--until now.
This book looks at some of the fascinating custom projects out
there, accompanied by stunning photography of the finished bikes. A
great book for Japanese bike fans, and fans of the custom bike
scene in general.
Researched and written in Japan, with the full co-operation of the
factory, here, in definitive detail, is the complete story of the
first generation of Mazda's MX-5 - the car that re-invented the
affordable lightweight roadster, a species that many thought was
extinct as the 1990s drew near. Immediately successful, the MX-5,
also known as the Miata or Eunos Roadster, spawned many imitators,
but remains the world's biggest selling sports car. The series has
now been in production for over 30 years, and new generations
continue to follow the concept of the original, much to the delight
of fans and enthusiasts all over the world.
The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) has been strongly heralded as the most
exciting innovation in automobility for decades. Autonomous
Vehicles are no longer an innovation of the future (seen only in
science fiction) but are now being road-tested for use. And yet
while the technical and economic success and possibilities of the
AV have been widely debated, there has been a notable lack of
discussion around the social, behavioural, and environmental
implications. This book is the first to address these issues and to
deeply consider the environmental and social sustainability outlook
for the AV and how it will impact on communities. Environmental and
social sustainability are goals unlike those of technical
development (a new tool) and economic development (a new
investment). The goal of sustainability is development of societies
that live well and equitably within their ecological limits. Is it
reasonable and desirable that only technical and economic success
comprise the swelling AV parade, or should we be looking at the
wider impacts on personal well-being, wider society, and the
environment? The uptake for AVs looks to be lengthy, disjointed,
and episodic, in large measure because it faces a range of known
unknown risks. This book assesses the environmental and social
sustainability potential for AVs based on their prospective energy
use and their impacts on climate change, urban landscapes, public
health, mobility inequalities, and individual and social
well-being. It examines public attitudes about AV use and its risk
of fostering a rebound effect that compromises potential
sustainability gains. The book concludes with a discussion of
critical issues involved in sustainable AV diffusion.

The Mini, now an emblem of the Swinging Sixties, was in fact the
product of an age of austerity and shortage, a simple design
intended to make motoring more accessible and affordable for the
average family. Ironically, it would become something very
different: a modern, classless style icon that appealed across the
boundaries of social status, age and gender and lent its name to
everything from fashion to furniture. Using illustrations from the
archives of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, Gillian
Bardsley here tells the Mini's story, from the inspired conception
of designer Alec Issigonis, through the car's shaky infancy and up
to its glorious heyday when it was beloved of film stars, royalty
and the public, as well as having a prominent presence in
motorsport.
This book gives a glimpse into the trials and tribulations of
inventing, developing and perfecting the art of pedal-powered
transport over the years from the the original 'hobby-horse'
velocipede to the the notorious bone-shaker, and from the grand but
tricky penny-farthing to Graeme Obree's world-beating home-made
suprbike. This second edition has been updated to take in Chris
Hoy's amazing three gold medals in the 2008 Olympics.

Motorcycle Engineering is a primer and technical introduction for
anyone interested in motorcycles, motorcycling, and the motorcycle
industry. It provides insight into how motorcycles are made and
operated. Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are important factors
in world transport, and they are playing an increasingly important
role in transport policy as we move towards greater environmental
awareness. Motorcycles and scooters give freedom of personal
transport that enable large commuter distances to be covered
quickly and easily. Their small footprint offers easy storage as
only minimal space is required. To celebrate the importance of
motorcycles on the world stage, a brief history is included with a
detailed timeline detailing the development of the motorcycle
alongside major world events. Written in an accessible fashion, no
previous knowledge of engineering or technology is required, as all
technical terms are readily explained and a glossary and
abbreviation list is included. Whether you are an enthusiast,
racer, student, or industry professional, you will surely find this
an enjoyable read and a handy reference book on your shelf.
