This book shows the possibilities available to the owner, from big wheels and suspension lifts, under-body protection and tuning ideas, right up to how to convert the car into a high speed racer or an international expedition vehicle. With clear, jargon-free instructions, advice on events like family weekend green-laning, international expeditions and full-on competition, accompanied by colour photographs throughout, this is the definitive guide to getting the most from these exciting vehicles.

BARRIE DOWN BOOK SIGNING IN TORONTO

We are delighted to hear that Barrie Down (author of Art Deco and British Car Design - The Airline Cars of the 1930s) had a very successful book signing last weekend at Mini Grid in Toronto, Canada. According to Barrie, "The store sold all 30 copies and have ordered a dozen more - not bad for a corner of the colonies that is not really aware of British cars. General concensus is that the book is highly readable, even for non-car people."

The Standard Motor Club have also reviewed the book. Here is an extract from the review: "The book is comprehensively illustrated with examples not only from Standard, but also from Hillman, MG, SS, Riley, Singer, Talbot, AC and Alvis to name only a few. How each range was conceived and developed is covered in a degree of detail to support the lavish photography." Click here to read the review in full.
