An English Car Designer Abroad - Designing for GM, Audi, Porsche and Mazda (Hardcover)

The humorous and personal account of a life spent working on the
design of some of the world's best known cars. Commencing his
career as a designer at Vauxhall Motors, Luton in 1973, Peter
Birtwhistle then left the UK in 1977 to take a position abroad, at
Audi in Germany, where he lived for the rest of his working life.
From Audi his career took him to Porsche in Stuttgart, and
eventually, in 1988, to the Japanese company Mazda, with whom he
would help develop a Design Centre close to Frankfurt, eventually
becoming Chief Designer for Mazda Motor Europe. During his career,
Birtwhistle was involved in the design of some very significant
cars and in his work and travels, crossed the paths of many
significant personalities from the car industry. Car design has
changed enormously since the time he commenced his career, and for
Birtwhistle it was clear, his story needed to be documented before
it was lost in time. Featuring original photographs and
illustrations from the author's own collection, this highly
humorous and very personal story creates a fascinating collage of
anecdotes and historical facts, not only from the secretive world
of car design, but also his private life.
