Content and front cover design/artwork by Jeff Danton, Veloce Publishing. Front cover: ‘Venting’ – featuring the iconic 2003 TVR Sagaris designed by Peter Wheeler – those curves and quartet of vents hide a multitude of sins; a 400bhp, 3996cc straight-six, 24-valve engine, developing a huge 349lbsft torque giving a blisteringly quick shock to the rear wheels, and, in turn, a 0-60mph time of just 3.9 seconds and a kerbside weight of just 1078kg – around just 80kg heavier than the original Lotus Elise! Power-to-weight here is everything, resulting in a top speed of 185mph, and not a V8 or a turbo in sight. TVR made a welcome comeback this year, when it announced the production of a new Griffith – after a 10-year absence from manufacturing cars, cementing the start of a new era for the company, that originally started life in 1946, under Trevor Wilkinson (Trevcar Motors).

seven decades, TVR managed to stay afloat through some turbulent times and stiff competition from the likes of Lotus, Caterham and Marcos. Even with a dedicated fan base, and despite having had talented designers such as Oliver Winterbottom (he also worked for Lotus and Jaguar) on board in the past, the company went into receivership in 2006. Now in 2018, with new blood and new cars to come, we welcome back TVR, – truly ‘roaring back’! Further reading: A Life in Car Design by Oliver Winterbottom – Autobiographical insight into the life of the prolific and determined designer of cars through Lotus, TVR and Jaguar from his apprenticeship right until his retirement.

It is our mission to provide books of the highest quality in terms of content, accuracy, presentation, subject range and reader satisfaction to discerning automotive enthusiasts around the world.

The Lotus position ...

Lotus Elan and Lotus Europa – Matthew Vale In the last decade, many British classic car values seem to have skyrocketed, largely due to the rarity of some examples of the greatest and most collectible cars that were ever built on UK soil – it wasn’t that long ago when it was nigh-on impossible to sell certain Brit classics for more than a few hundred pounds. Now, with the emotional and proud attachment we have towards British cars, especially the likes of Lotus, it’s no surprise that, despite their GRP bodies, ‘60s and ‘70s racing heritage-backed classics Elan and Europa have such magnetic

personalities. Both have a huge following of enthusiasts and would-be owners. There’s help at hand to guide the latter through the buying process, from the nervy first viewing to the handshake that seals a deal, in the shape of Essential Buyer’s Guides™. The expert-written series now features over 100 cars and motorbikes, and over 150,000 copies have been sold, helping car-buyers far and wide. In short, these great books can put you in the right position to decide to buy, or walk away. See page 31 for the full range.

“... it is always the same, we totter from crisis to crisis ...”

The founder of Lotus Cars was a pioneering race/sports car designer, engineer and businessman, with a maverick approach to overcoming Formula One rules, and a practical, no-nonsense approach to performance through lightness and simplicity; the foundation upon which Lotus Cars grew from 1958 to the current day. Chapman’s ‘ground effect’ system was revolutionary, as was his belief in on-car advertising and sponsorship. (Courtesy Wikipedia/Koen Suyk.)

Everything you’d expect from an outrageous Italian thoroughbred. Further reading on page 103. 16

Mazda’s MX-5 – the car that changed the roadster market and influenced attitudes towards open-top motoring, began life in 1989 and, since then, over one million cars have been sold to adoring drivers from Japan to Jakarta, and just about everywhere else between! Billed as a driver’s car, with “oneness of man and machine” in mind, the MX-5, or Miata, as it is also known, has deservedly gained a place high in the hearts of owners and admirers; more to do with its personality and impeccable road manners than out-and-out performance. Nevertheless, the MX-5 remains the car of choice for the world’s biggest race series, too, so its front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout lends itself well to being a great (and fun!) competition car.

The world’s biggest selling and most popular open-top, two-seater has a huge following of enthusiasts, so it should come as no surprise that we cover every aspect of the mighty little Japanese sportscar with expertly written and comprehensive subject matter, spanning the lfe of the MX-5, now in it’s fourth incarnation. Whether you are simply a fan of the MX-5/Miata or if you are in the throes of restoring , repairing or researching, we have a title for you.

Above from left to right: Veloce’s superbly detailed Enthusiast’s Workshop Manuals for the Mazda MX-5 Miata 1.6 and MX-5 Miata 1.8, Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster – Design and development: The inside story and The book of the World’s Favourite Sportscar, both by MX-5 expert (and serial owner) Brian Long, along with his Mk1 NA-series book and Carla Crook’s Essential Buyer’s Guide™ shows you how to find, check over and purchase your perfect MX-5.

Also available from Veloce: The story of Mazda’s RX-7 is covered in great detail in Brian Long’s brilliant portrayal of the rotary engined, much maligned and misunderstood but successful sports coupé, and Mazda’s rotary engines are examined in this fascinating insight into all of its production models from the 1960s to the most recent configurations.

Mazda MX-5 Miata 1.6 Litre Enthusiast’s Workshop Manual – Rod Grainger Friendly & easy to understand. Covers all 1989-1994 1.6 models, inc Eunos. Rod stripped down an MX-5 in a domestic garage using ordinary tools & took over 1500 step-by-step photos. Details every aspect of important jobs.

Yamaha FS1-E, How to restore – John Watts

The Yamaha FS1-E or ‘Fizzy’ as it was known, began life in 1970, and survived until its final incarnation as the FS-1 in 1987. Good examples today can fetch from a few hundred pounds for a restorable one, to several thousand for an immaculately restored, or original low-mileage bike, especially in rarer gold or purple colours.

Most FS1-Es have not endured the test of time well, and very few good original examples exist. However, there are plenty of restorable machines around, and this book guides the do-it-yourself restorer through the minefield of finding a machine to restore, and the pitfalls of a first restoration.

Right: BMW Z cars. Mainstream manufacturers rarely attract cult followings, but BMW’s Z-cars are now firmly in the hearts of the buying public. Influenced by the beautiful BMW 507 built from 1956 to 1959 (misjudged sales forecasts and big losses meant that only 252 were built). The Z3 reversed this trend from 1995-2002 with a more respectable c.280,000 sales, followed by the Z4, which now enters its 3rd generation after 15 years of production. Both Z3 & Z4 are admirably covered in our Essential Buyer’s Guide™ series – see the next section. 30

Back in 1922 the Austin Motor Company was on the brink of releasing its best-selling car of all time – The 7hp Austin Seven or ‘Baby Austin’ as it was AUSTIN SEVEN (1933) sometimes dubbed. The model would become the Midlands-based company’s most ubiquitous product. This economical, easy to drive and comparatively Top Speed: 50mph affordable motor cars’ success couldn’t have come at a better time. Herbert Austin, with the Vickers Brothers, founded Wolseley Cars in 1895, Cylinders: 4 but left that company in 1905 after a fall-out with the brothers. 35 seconds By December 1905, Herbert had set up Austin Motor Company within a Acceleration 0-50mph: disused printing works in Longbridge. By 1906 customers were queuing up Bhp: 12 to order the new company’s luxury cars: worldwide clientele included grand dukes, nobility and high-ranking officials. In 1914 war had been declared, and Austin gained many government contracts, building trucks, aircraft, heavy guns and shells. During the war years, the company staff grew almost ten-fold to 22,000 workers. After the war, and a resurrection of the company (it having gone into receivership in 1921), 1922 saw the introduction of both the Austin Seven and the Twelve; sales of which models helped Austin to survive and even remain profitable through the depression of the 1930s. The Seven’s chassis was released under licence to many companies such as BMW and Nissan which both used the design for their first-ever production cars. The Seven was also manufactured and sold in France – badged ‘Rosengart’. In total, 290,000 Austin Sevens were built between 1922 and 1939. Austins have a huge, enthusiastic following today, inspiring the infinitesounding title, Immortal Austin Seven – David Morgan’s fascinating and eye-opening look into this plucky little survivor.

THE RIGHT TUNE The SpeedPro™ series is Veloce’s best-selling collection of books written by experts with real hands-on experience. These heavily illustrated and clearly written books are designed to allow you to get maximum performance for road or track without wasting money on parts and modifications that don’t work. SpeedPro™ books dealing with subjects like carburettors, camshafts, ignition systems, cylinder heads and suspension systems, dispel common fallacies, and give YOU the understanding necessary to make the right choices for YOUR vehicle. Performance tuning and modification of a vehicle’s engine characteristics can improve its performance, but what exactly is ‘tuning’? This is usually the replacement and improvement of key parts in order to gain more power or fuel economy, or perhaps to restrict the performance in some way, for example, by limiting the top speed of a vehicle. It can be a costly process to have engine tweaks carried out by a tuning specialist, and there are often long waits involved before some companies can book your car or bike in and begin work – but it’s not beyond the capability of a competent home mechanic in possession of the correct material and expert information. The savings in labour by going the selftune route are often substantial, not to mention other related savings, such as self-sourced components. Whatever your reason for tuning your car or motorbike, the amount of labour involved can vary from a few hours for simple actions, to weeks or even months of work for more complex projects involving complete stripdowns of engine components and replacing, refurbishing or rebuilding.

Planning, then, is essential, and in cases like the latter examples, it’s a good idea to have expert information to hand in order to determine the viability of a proposed project, both before donning your overalls and grabbing tools, and also to guide you during your chosen tuning project once it’s up and running. There are many ways to tune an engine, but let’s assume you have decided what it is that you wish to modify. You should think carefully, plan ahead and refer to mechanical notes written by an experienced person who has already performed the same tuning process. Be aware, though, that these actions could have related consequences, as enhanced engine performance may put more stress on other systems, such as braking, cooling and suspension systems. It’s all about being armed with the correct information. We are only scratching the surface of the subject here, but thankfully, the SpeedPro™ series is comprehensive, informative, factual and logically laid out, so in no time, you’ll be looking forward to your project with an expert eye, and reaping the benefits.

To date the most expensive single toy car ever sold was a prewar Dinky ‘type 22’ delivery van, marked ‘W E Boyce’ – reaching an incredible £19,975, or $35,728, in an online auction that took place on November 20th, 2008. It was originally sold in the 1930s for about 1s 6d old money (around 7.5 pence today), and was among the first toys of its type to be used for promotional purposes. Dinky began its life in 1934, making model cars, railway set accessories and building kits, then under the ‘Meccano’ name. In 1935, the Meccano name was replaced with ‘Dinky’ – there are several stories as to from where the Dinky name originates – the most common is understood to have been a comment made by one of Frank Hornby’s daughters-in-law, who used the term ‘dinky’ to The shop in London from where the van was describe the models upon first seeing them.

DAF Trucks – A brief history After WW2, lorries were scarce – a big opportunity for DAF. In 1949, it began constructing lorries, trailers and buses and changed its name to ‘Van Doorne’s Automobiel Fabriek’ (Van Doorne’s Automobile Factory). The first lorry model was the DAF A30. Highlights of the postwar period included major supply to the re-equipping of the Dutch army’s softskin vehicles, with models such as the all-wheel drive ‘Dikke Daf,’ and, in 1954, Hub had an idea to use belt-drive for road vehicles. The design was developed over the next few years, and in 1958, the company exhibited a small belt-driven car at the Dutch AutoRAI show. The public reaction was positive and 4000 cars were ordered. Sales of the four-seater DAF 600 began in 1959, the world’s first car with a continuously variable transmission. In subsequent years, the models DAF 33, 44, 55 and DAF 66 were added to the production, all using the ‘Variomatic’ system. Later in 1975, DAF sold its car division, along with what is now the NedCar factory in Born, to the Swedish company Volvo Cars, leaving DAF to concentrate on its line of lorries. In 1987, DAF merged with the Leyland Trucks division of Rover Group. The new company traded as Leyland DAF in the United Kingdom, and as DAF elsewhere.

Focus on Arocs Aimed squarely at the construction industry, the Arocs range was launched in 2013, in-line with impending changes at the time to Euro V1 requirements across Europe. It is available with a choice of four engine displacements and 16 power ratings from 175 kW (238 hp) to 460 kW (625 hp), each designed for maximum fuel efficiency, maximum torque and driveability, low noise & emissions and a long life, with the aim of future-proofing business owners’ liablities. Driveline variations inlude from 4x2 to full 8-wheel drive (8x8).

MASTERPIECES

When it comes to presenting timeless classics within the pages of a beautifully photographed book, bound to perfection, Veloce’s Classic Reprints of the Great Cars Series is a tour de force, with re-worked, high-detail studio and archive pictures alongside extensively researched information that shows these historically important cars at their very best. Stirring up a sensation on paper and somehow magically turning it into a book fit to grace the shelves is a tricky process at the best of times, but that’s what Veloce does best! We’re always looking for new ways to maximise the impact of a book on an expectant public, seemingly succeeding where others may struggle. Sometimes in publishing, ideas require re-working in a positive direction, especially if the originally published material has simply become dated. The Great Cars series was such a challenge, with several titles existing already, albeit older, out of print, and finished in an outdated style, when the publishing technology available was half as good as it is today; so, how should we update the series without killing off the core quality of the content, which already existed in droves? This is a series that starts its engine, pulls away and goes the extra mile – a direct comparison, perhaps, to the time and effort that went into the restoration and preservation of the actual cars featured – all have

been the subject of nut-and-bolt restorations, and they therefore lend themselves brilliantly to the detailed photography style. Such is the attention to detail here, that a half-hearted restoration job would not have endured the scrutiny of the photographer’s lens that these restored gems proudly expose themselves to from all angles. The subject cars, then, are as important as the research – especially when paired with the facts and figures that back up these wonderfully captured, mainly studio set, images, pairing perfectly to the remaining content. Nigel Thorley and Bill Piggot have admirably furnished the pages with accurate, chronological information and relevant points of interest, such as examples of period advertising, promotional/press photographs and brochures – all invaluable to die-hard fans and enthustastic owners, some, perhaps, with their own projects on the go, as well as those simply interested in reading classic motoring literature. The images have all been lovingly brought into the 21st century, by way of rebalancing the colours and contrasts of the original supplied images – simply a case of researching the factory paint colours from archives, and then detailing; ensuring both good colour continuity and redressing the period monochromatic images, too. With a total of over 1100 pictures to process, this was a timeconsuming task, but the results shout for themselves. These gorgeous hardbacks are, once again, proudly gracing the shelves of enthusiasts.

Right: Design icons are iconic for many reasons, whether for prestige, fashion, popularity, affordability, heritage, innovation, beauty or performance. The cars shown all had a bearing on future car designs, even swaying attitudes towards the whole discipline; you can’t help but think of the designer at the drawing board screwing up the latest rendering and hurling it bin-wards, having just seen the latest Bentley or Delahaye drift past the studio window. All are landmarks in the overall history of the car, and have one thing in common: they all have a purpose; a specific role within the evolution of the motor vehicle. There are, of course, many other designs worthy of inclusion here, all vying for a place on our ‘bridge of flair’ – but these are a few of the left field; the extreme, the interesting and the downright obvious. Pictured left to right: 1940 Jaguar SS Coupé – simply seeing this car in 1940 would have been a treat. 1935 Bugatti Type 57 Aérolithe – flowing, daring and beautiful lines from before the second world war: even then Bugattis were stunning. A 2005 example of Renault’s well-heeled and well sold Clio – French chic with practicality. 2009 Alfa Romeo 159 – successor to the hugely popular 156, a turning point for Alfa, shrugging off previous reputation and, with the assistance of Bertone, embracing the 21st century. Lamborghini’s Diablo replacement, the unforgettable Murciélago from 2001. VW Karmann Ghia 1968 type 14 and finally Porsche 911 – one of the most common and popular performance cars in the world.

THE HARD SL

Like a bit of Mercedes? You could do a lot worse than to check out Brian Long’s extensively – even exhaustively – researched Mercedes-Benz series.

Reportedly reliable and well constructed, there’s plenty of Mercedes’ range of cars on the road these days; almost to the point of allowing most of them to simply pass us by, occasionally though, a shiny, beautifully-proportioned convertible might sail past and you may find yourself struggling to keep your eyes on the road instead of on the stunning motor you undoubtedly just fell in love with. Chances are, you just spotted a Mercedes SL. The SL began its life in 1954, under the Daimler-Benz moniker. Since then, and through each decade and every variant, the car’s popularity has barely waned, and it remains in production; albeit in a more modern style that has lost features such as the now iconic gull-wing doors (they now exclusively appear on the arguably similar-looking Mclaren SLR, if you have a spare £5-600,000) in favour of a plethora of luxury gadgets – so many that even James Bond’s Q- branch would have trouble keeping up. The SL is not a simple car; from its masterfully engineered, powered folding metal roof, to heated (and cooled) seats, tyre pressure sensors, ‘ABC’ hydraulic suspension, keyless entry, self-braking proximity technology and safety features such as a quick-deploy rollover hoop should the car ever dare turn oily side up. Over the decades, the SL has been MercedesBenz’ showcase for its latest technological advancements, rolled out piecemeal through the rest of its range of road cars. Brian Long, automotive author, has applied similar principles to his detailed series of Mercedes titles, dealing with this important history as well as many other titles (his work appears throughout this catalogue) concentrating on the SL, SLK and W123 – he has also researched and written about the stalwart G-Wagen, too. Is there no end to this chap’s talent and knowledge? Let’s hope not, as they are all great titles, and we’re happy to share in the seemingly endless torrent. So, enjoy the read – and next time an SL sails past, remember to keep your eyes on the road.
