Book excerpt: For over 35 years Roy Lanchester has been one of Britain's motoring journalists. In that time he has driven, dined, drunk and laughed, all at other people's expense. In this memoir he looks back at his life and career, from his early days as a cub reporter, through his halcyon time as a Fleet Street motoring hack in the 1980s, up to his reign as one of the country's best-known and thirstiest regional journalists. Roy has always been notoriously outspoken and he holds back nothing in this book, which includes tales of his failed marriages, his rows with press officers, and his incident with Nigel Mansell, although the lawyers later asked for this to be removed. If you've ever wondered what it takes to forge a career writing about cars in the face of setbacks, cutbacks and uncooperative barmen, How To Be A Motoring Journalist will tell you everything you want to know, and some things you don't.

Download or read book Jewels in the Crown written by Ray Hutton and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewels in the Crown, winner of the 2013 Montagu Trophy by the Guild of Motoring Writers, provides an analysis of Tata’s acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, and subsequent transformation of their fortunes, written by an award-winning motoring writer. Ray Hutton goes behind the scenes to examine how Tata have not only returned the business to profit, but also transformed the public image of these long-established British brands. At the time of the takeover, both brands (once the crown jewels of the British motor industry) had been tarnished by a patchy reputation for quality and reliability. Tata bought a new approach to the business, with fast decision-making and a solid, sustainable, long-term strategy. Factory efficiency was improved and a major export drive accompanied by a succession of carefully-positioned new models, from the Jaguar XJ Saloon and F-Type sports car to the Evoque and the new, lighter but more luxurious Range Rover flagship. The result was a remarkable change of fortunes. This book shows how it was done.
