The place of Australia in the world motor industry has only recently become obvious. Both General Motors and Ford maintain Australia as one of their three world design centres. Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Mazda use Australia as a proving ground for vehicles and a testing place for marketing. Thus the Australian industry has truly come of age, but not in the terms normally applied by the Australian popular media of T.V. radio and daily newspapers. Time will show that this country, which was designing its first car at the same time as the revered Karl Benz, will have a greater influence on the motor vehicle than anyone could possibly have imagined. This is the theme of this, the inaugural issue of the annual Australian Motoring Year. Please Note: This book weighs 2kg unpacked, therefore more postage may be required.

This book takes off with the earliest obsessions with speed such as the Mercer Raceabout of 1911, a daredevil straight line racer, 75 mph, no doors and a footbrake that didn't work, turns on the power for the '30s V16 Cadillac, 7.4 litres and 54 bodystyle, and cruises into the '80s with the Corvette, 30 years of success and America's first supercar. With full specifications panels and stunning full colour photographs of the autos in action, this book introduces the well-known marques such as Mustang, Pontiac and rare models such as the breathtakingly beautiful, fast and heartstoppingly expensive Duesenburg J. The stories and the people behind the cars are also presented, the designers, the racing drivers, whose success or failure on the track radically affected the sales of the road cars, the boardroom battles and shifts in company policy which destroyed or created the high performance machines.

 | WILLOUGHBY, VIC Classic Motor-Cycles London, Ivy Leaf. 1989, First Edition. Hard Cover, 4t. Publishers illustrated laminated boards with red lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 208pp profusely illustrated with over 290 colour and b/w photographs, and technical line drawings throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. This is an expanded edition of a widely acclaimed book profiling many famous motor-cycles of the past. It examines in detail a cross-section of machines which have firm places in motor-cycle lore, many of them the direct forerunners of types still marketed, and many which introduced revolutionary features which are now commonplace. This edition ranges over 70 years of history, covering both roadsters and racing bikes. Each chapter describes a machine in perspective, recalling the personalities of designers and riders, which were often strongly stamped on it, outlining features of technical significance, and surveying racing and production stories, sometimes brief, sometimes stretching over decades. Among the motor-cycles described are the Zenith Gradua which changed the face of early competition events, the Indian vee-twin which won the 1911 TT, and the unorthodox Scotts. The short lives of the highly original ABC flat twin and the Ner-a-Car contrast with the extraordinarily long lived BMW and Harley-Davidson designs and the immortal overhead camshaft Nortons. Refined roadster, the Sunbeam Model 90, Matchless Silver Hawk and Brough Superior, set off some of the all time racing greats Norton, Velocette, Husqvarna Gilera, DKW, AJS, Benelli. Famous names from the modern era include Ducati, MZ, Honda, Norton Commando, Suzuki, Yamaha, Fath and Kawasaki. Very Good/Very Good.
