Download or read book British Vans Pick Ups 1945 1965 written by Rinsey Mills and published by Herridge & Sons Limited. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directly after the Second World War, most light commercial vehicles were derived from passenger cars, usually small and with very limited carrying capacity. The most typical of these was the Morris Eight van, which would struggle to cope with the weight of more than five hundred potatoes or to reach 50 mph. By comparison, the Ford Transit of 1965 would carry three times that amount, drove like a car and could maintain speeds of 70 mph with ease. In British Vans & Pick ups 1945-1965 the manufacturers - large and small - are dealt with in A-Z order: Austin, Bedford, Bond, Commer, Douglas, Ford, Jowett, Morris, Morrison, Reliant, Standard, Triumph and Trojan. The author gives a brief history of each and then provides detailed coverage of the various models produced, using the original manufacturers' publicity material for the illustrations not only to identify the vehicles but also to give the flavor of the times when they were to be seen going about their business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vauxhalls held a special place in the British motoring scene of the mid-twentieth century.

The book covers just over two decades of Vauxhall history, between the late 1950s and the late 1970s, that saw Vauxhall producing a succession of fondly remembered models, including some genuine classics. This new book features the styling, engineering and specification changes introduced over the lifetime of the Victor, Cresta and Viva ranges, and their offshoots. It gives full technical specifications of each model and includes a special examination of engine development in this period. Finally, there is advice about buying each of these models.

Download or read book Roadscapes II written by Alan Spillett and published by Old Pond Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Spillett is recognised as one of Britain's foremost painters of trucking scenes with over 700 commissions to date. He portrays lorries from the 1960s, '70s and '80s, when he was a long-distance driver, as well as more recent trucks. His paintings are set in exact locations, capturing to the full the experiences of so many drivers. A Volvo easing its way along a Scottish lochside on a summer's day or an ERF setting out on a wet early morning from a factory in Kent - these are strongly evocative images. The paintings are accompanied by full captions describing the context of the pictures. There are longer features on aspects of trucking and truckers, photographs and miscellanea adding up to a fulfilling read. His images range widely through England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Alan's first book, Roadscapes, was published in 2005. The paintings in Roadscapes II have not been published in book form before and many have been prepared specially for this new book.
