Download or read book BMC 1100 and 1300 written by James Taylor and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Motor Corporation's 1100 and 1300 model range was amongst the most successful in the Corporation's history, selling more than 2.1 million of all types between its introduction in 1962 and its demise in 1974. World-wide, it was sold under eight different marque names and in two-door saloon, four-door saloon, two-door estate, and five-door hatchback forms - and very nearly as a van as well. In Britain, it was the country's best-selling car between 1962 and 1971, being beaten just once (in 1967) by the Ford Cortina. BMC 1100 and 1300 looks at the design and development of a model range that at the time confirmed BMC as a pioneer of new automotive ideas and had a profound impact on other manufacturers. It covers not only the full standard model range, but special conversions, cars built abroad, and owning and running the cars today. Superbly illustrated with 150 colour photographs.
Book Synopsis The BMC/Bl Competitions Department by : Bill Price
Download or read book The BMC/Bl Competitions Department written by Bill Price and published by Haynes Publications. This book was released on 1998-11-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1955 to 1980, the British Motor Corporation -- later British Leyland -- committed itself to motorsports, mainly rallying, as a means of product improvement and publicity. This fascinating story of those years is written by Bill Price, who was involved with BMC's various departments for more than two decades. Included are profiles of the managers, drivers, and mechanics; the stories behind marques like Austin, Austin-Healey, Morris, and Triumph; and the races, the victories, the disappointments, and the boardroom politics. Nearly 600 evocative photographs show the cars in action, and appendices provide event results for BMC/BL cars entered and supported in the events for a quarter of a century.
Book Synopsis BMC Leyland Australia Vehicle Reference by : Peter Davis
Download or read book BMC Leyland Australia Vehicle Reference written by Peter Davis and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 40 years ago, Leyland Australia ceased manufacturing passenger vehicles in Australia. These days, many of the cars produced by Nuffield (Australia), the Austin Motor Company (Australia) the British Motor Corporation (Australia), British Leyland Motor Corporation of Australia and Leyland Australia from 1950 to 1982 remain popular and have become classics. Of particular interest to present day owners, registration authorities, car club officials, as well as motoring and engineering historians, is a record of what BMC/Leyland passenger vehicles were produced and the means by which they were identified. Our aim in this book is to provide an authoritative reference to this end.
Download or read book Export Drive written by Chris Cowin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: This is the original (colour) edition of this book. A revised second edition paperback is now available on this site....Large format with period illustrations, this book raises some intriguing questions:Did Commonwealth trading ties help or hinder Britain's car industry in the long run? Did France's decision to block the UK from the EEC seal the fate of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in the sixties? Could problems that engulfed the nation's biggest car manufacturer have been avoided if better access to export markets had allowed higher production? The export performance of motor giant British Leyland and its predecessors is examined to help arrive at answers. Problems selling to Europe are one area of focus, the United States and the Commonwealth are others, with specific sections covering Australia and New Zealand as well as South Africa and Ireland.By the author of the well-received "British Leyland: Chronicle of a Car Crash", this book is about the car industry, but contains plenty of detail about actual cars, plus graphics and photographs selected with the help of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT).
Book Synopsis The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars by : Ross Alkureishi
Download or read book The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars written by Ross Alkureishi and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars covers all the marque's collectible production saloons and sports cars, from the 14/28 and 14/40 sports cars to the iconic postwar convertibles like the MGA and MGB, as well as latter-day takes on the classic MG formula, such as the RV8. First produced in Oxford, England, in 1924, MG cars proved instantly appealing, with a cheeky spirit that would win the hearts of millions around the globe, not least of all in the United States. This was due in no small part to the fact that the price was as attractive as the styling and the performance. Inexpensive and fun became quintessential MG traits. In this installment of Motorbooks' Complete Book series, author Ross Alkureishi offers a chronological model-by-model marque history. Narratives discuss design, production, and technology, while specification tables highlight key technical and performance data. Hundreds of photos illustrate the vehicles and even include detail shots of engine bays and interiors. Originally formed as a side business, MG became one of the world's most recognized car brands. From prewar saloons to fast and affordable two-seat sports cars in the pre- and postwar periods, MG has exuded fun, thanks to models like the Midgets and Magnettes, the traditionally styled T-Types, and the vehicles that would become the marque’s most recognizable: the MGA, MGB, and MGC. MG would undergo several ownership changes throughout the years, and Alkureishi expertly shows how different ownership groups affected MG cars, good or bad. Along the way, the company competed on racetracks around the world, and Alkureishi describes the most successful of these exploits in complementary sidebars. The Complete Book of Classic MG Cars is the essential guide to this important chapter in the history of motoring.

Download or read book Cars written by Karel Williams and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Car manufacturing involves the movement of large numbers of heavy, awkward objects incorporating some 20,000 parts, through a large number of short cycles. As to be expected the constant flow of the processes involved is disrupted by both the inherent complexities of production and those of market restrictions. This study, a unique blend of analysis, history and case studies, not only characterizes the essence of car manufacturing but also explains the links between production, market conditions and financial results and constraints. At the same time, it challenges fashionable views on the car industry and rejects the current preference for facile dichotomies (e.g. mass production vs. lean production; Japan vs. America; freedom vs. regulation). However, it also shows that the failure of BMC, the largest failure in the industry to date, cannot be attributed to its incomplete adoption of the best system. Ford and Toyota were exceptionally successful in their production organization but their solutions had more in common than is generally acknowledged, and those solutions also required exceptional market conditions for their successful implementation.
