Features

- The first book in Veloce's new "Those were the days ...?" series, which takes a nostalgic look at times past.
- Packed with wonderfully evocative photos of Police cars from the earliest days until the end of the 1970s.
- A concise text tells the story behind the pictures.
Synopsis

Using pictures sourced from policemen and police forces all over the country, this book illustrates the way in which policing gradually became more and more motorised over the years, and illustrates the many and extremely varied vehicles - mainly British, but not always so - which were used from earliest days through to the Seventies.
Nick Walker is currently Midland Chairman of the Alvis Owner Club and acts as Librarian for the Vintage Sports Car Club. Now semi-retired and living in the Cotswolds, Nick has in recent years written numerous articles for classic car magazines, and is the author of A-Z of British Coachbuilders.

    As Britain emerged from war in 1945, the pent-up demand for new cars, which had not been produced for more than five years, represented not only a major challenge but also an unrepeatable opportunity for the British motor industry.

    The Alvis Speed models of the 1930s were and still are among the most desirable high-performance cars of their decade. Less expensive than the Bentley or Lagonda, classier than the SS Jaguar, and more advanced than any of them, the Alvis earned a special cachet as the sporting gentleman motorist's favoured choice, exerting a magnetic appeal to connoisseurs of good engineering a...

    All car enthusiasts know, or think they know, what a vintage Bentley should look like. It should have a Vanden Plas four-seater tourer body, and should be painted green. But Bentleys weren't always like that. When these cars were new, other types of body - saloons, limousines, fixed-head coup? landaulets, cabriolets, drophead coupés, sedancas de ville - outnumbered the tourers ...

    The sports car has always held a warm place in the hearts of British motorists, and even more in the two decades between the wars than now. In those days motoring was still an exciting experience - very exciting for those who had just acquired their first car.

    In 1922 Rolls-Royce introduced their new 20hp model, known as the Twenty, the first in a family of what are now called the "Small Horsepower" cars. The plan was to offer a more manageable, less expensive model than the mighty 7-litre Silver Ghost, one intended for the owner-driver rather than for the chauffeur, yet with all the quality and refinement of the bigger cars. The Twe...

Purchasing the company in 1947, he quickly followed up by buying Lagonda, moving both firms into adjacent premises at Feltham, thus forming Aston Martin Lagonda.Using the pre-war Atom as a basis, Aston Martin's first post-war c...
