The intriguing story of this popular German marque's rise from almost certain bankruptcy in the late 1950s to its present, much vaunted, position. Topics include: background and history of BMW road and race cars from the 1930s to the 1970s; 4- and 6-cylinder cars; full specifications; and the full racing history of such classic cars as the 1500, 2800cs, 2002 and 2002 Turbo. An inspiring story.
Though American Motors never approached the size of Detroit's Big Three, it produced a long series of successful cars that were distinctive, often innovative and in many cases influential. This history examines AMC's cars from the company's formation in 1954 through its absorption by Chrysler in 1987. The Gremlin, Pacer and Eagle vehicles are examined in detail, as are the AMC custom cars of George Barris and Carl Green. The text details AMC's 1980s involvement with the French firm Renault and the design legacy of that joint venture, which includes the Hummer. The evolution of Jeep is covered from the 1960s through the 2000s. Features include some 225 photographs; a listing of AMC / Rambler clubs, organizations and business entities, with contact details; tables of detailed specifications and performance data; data on technical devices, trim packages and all model variations; a comprehensive account of AMC / Rambler appearances in film, television and cartoons.
Concept vehicles are cars we can't drive - and only in rare cases are we allowed to touch them. Just to have a look at them we have to stand in line at the motor shows. Even so, concept vehicle creators reach millions of people through the major international motor shows in Tokyo, Frankfurt, Geneva, Paris or Birmingham or the ones that take place in the big conference centers in New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles. It's sufficient for us to admire these prototypes from far away or to have the chance to brush up against them and to dream about the day we will get into one or two of them. Concept vehicles are dream cars, vehicles that we passionately hope one day will be part of our cars-to-come dream. These are the cars of the future, or at least, of a future that some creative mind imagines. In their bold new shapes, concept vehicles show us the future through the designer's artistic eye and creative imagination. Some of these models announce the arrival of cars under production, others are design and technology experiments.
Relating the story of Triumph cars is complex enough, but to include all the earlier events which persuaded Siegfried Bettman to begin car manufacture in 1923 is even more so. The two authors, however - both of them experts in all things Triumph, the cars, and the political events surrounding them - have assembled and presented an enthralling story of the way the car-making side of the business came to prosper, was then afflicted by financial problems, and then rescued from oblivion by Standard in 1944. Thereafter, Triumph once again became a prominent marque, eventually dominated Standard, and (from the 1960s onwards) became an important cast member in the melodramatic events which involved Leyland, BMC and eventually British Leyland. Triumph Cars - The Complete Story, however, is not merely a turbulent trawl through the historical record, for both authors were also successful in locating the important characters whose efforts made it possible for Triumph to excite the world. Along the way, the career of cars as famous as the Glorias and Dolomites of the 1930s, the Heralds, Spitfires and TRs of the post-war years, and the headline-grabbing exploits in racing and rallying build up a story which no fictional writer could have created.
