Book Synopsis Cars We Loved in the 1980s by : Giles Chapman
Download or read book Cars We Loved in the 1980s written by Giles Chapman and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was brash and it was loud – the 1980s put paid to the glumness of the '70s and nowhere was that more obvious than in the cars we drove, which took a quantum leap in durability, performance, equipment and style. They had to: Japanese quality and European design were luring away ever more customers. Features such as fuel injection, turbochargers, computer-controlled systems and four-wheel drive became commonplace. This was also the decade that brought us the people-carrier and the off-roader, new classes of car that radically reshaped family transport. Meanwhile, seatbelt-wearing became law, the M25 opened, speed cameras appeared and ram-raiding was the new motoring nemesis. Relive everything car-related in Britain in the 1980s with Giles Chapman.
Download or read book Mini written by Giles Chapman and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mini celebrates 60 amazing years of this iconic car, from its revolutionary introduction to the popularity of its new-generation models. The first two-door Mini, introduced in 1959 and built until 2000, revolutionized automotive design with its innovative front-wheel-drive layout that made the car appear bigger on the inside than the outside. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. Designed for British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis and manufactured in England, Australia, Spain, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Yugoslavia, the Mini was as successful in competition as it was on the street, winning the Monte Carlo Rally four times from 1964 through 1967. Originally built by BMC, the Mini’s later parent company, Rover, was acquired by BMW in 1994. In 2000, BMW sold most of the Rover Group but retained the Mini brand. The last and 5,387,862nd original Mini rolled off the production line in October 2000. In July 2001, BMW launched production of the new-generation of Mini which was soon joined by Countryman, Clubman, convertible, Cooper Works, and numerous special editions. Nearly 20 years later, the new Minis remain as popular as the original from 1959.

Book excerpt: This latest book from Giles Chapman celebrates the fascinating lives of 50 amazing, memorable and often quirky characters, who all added significantly to the culture of cars and motoring in a wide variety of often surprising ways. These curious car tales encompass both men and women, some famous, some lesser known. This is not the place to find biographies of Henry Ford or Enzo Ferrari, towering figures who have been written about to excess already, but stop here to learn about the life of the stunt driver who crops up in so many 70s films you will be stunned not to know his name; great racing drivers such as Mary Davies; Nils Bohlin, the seatbelt inventor who saved millions of lives; as well as many designers, stylists, company founders, importers, experts and larger than life salesmen, plus some very car obsessed movie stars and producers. The modern car scene would have looked very different without these impactful individuals.
